Tracking down a first-edition copy of Vladimir Nabokov’s 1955 classic “Lolita” isn’t too difficult. But for her latest film, “The Bookshop,” set in 1959, director Isabel Coixet needed 250 of them. "It took us about a year to get all those books,” the filmmaker tells The Post, adding that she and production designer Llorenç Miquel settled on a mixture of actual vintage tomes and convincing reproductions of the real thing. “It was really important for me to have details that really belonged to the moment of the film — from the food, to the landscapes, to, of course, the books."

Photographer Kerry Mansfield shows old, well-worn library books with titles ranging from Charlotte’s Web and Madeline in London to the Babar series... For photographer Kerry Mansfield, library books are full of stories and
are part of a disappearing shared experience that deserves to be studied
and chronicled. Her photo series Expired captures former
library books, showcasing the unique traits they’ve gained during their
time in circulation. Mansfield photographed over 180 books to create the
175 photographs in the series. (She plans to shoot 75 more.)
Seventy-three of the images have been collected into a book, each copy
with its own library check-out card and envelope in the front. Architectural Digest
