Type Books Makes an Ink Splash

January 12, 2012 By Pat Williams

An independant bookstore in Toronto, Ontario has captured the imagination of the world with the following video titled The Joy of Books.

From YouTube:

After organizing our bookshelf almost a year ago (http://youtu.be/zhRT-PM7vpA), my wife and I (Sean Ohlenkamp) decided to take it to the next level. We spent many sleepless nights moving, stacking, and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto (883 Queen Street West, (416) 366-8973).

Everything you see here can be purchased at Type Books.

Grayson Matthews generously composed the beautiful, custom music.

But none of it could have been done without all the volunteer hands who shelved and reshelved books all night, every night.

So who wants to help us do the Library of Congress next? 🙂

Visit them at their web site at Typebooks.ca, on twitter, facebook or stop by their stores at 883 Queen Street or 447 Spadina.
