synopsis
In the rare books reading room of the British Library, Jess falls in love with a gorgeous young man. Too shy to talk to him, she ‘borrows’ his library card and starts to send him books, whose titles spell out her feelings for him. At first, her campaign doesn’t seem to be a success; then Jess receives a book in return.
Jess is thrilled – but then she’s heart-broken to see her man leave the library on the arm of another woman. As books keep coming for her, Jess realises that she too must have a secret admirer. But who on earth can it be? This film has chosen to be part of the BBC's Summer of British Film: Love & Romance season. For more info please visit: BBC Summer of British film
short fact
Then Wendy Bevan-Mogg sent me the adaptation of Rare Books and Manuscripts which I felt was a very good, commercial short. It appeals to me as it's all about modern dating, behind computers and on the internet where you can be more bold than you actually are. Neve McIntosh wrote/improvised a lot of the witty dialogue and was a major part of making this film as charming as it is."
