Old School: “Papernick the Book Peddler”

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

By Alyssa Jocson

Before downloadable e-books and Amazon’s computer-generated recommendations, there was good, old-fashioned hand-selling of books, the preferred method of Jonathan Papernick. The author of three books, most recently a collection of short stories, There Is No Other, Papernick has taken on the alter-ego of ‘Papernick the Book Peddler’ to promote his books in face-to-face interactions during a New England tour. He carts his books to local farmers’ markets to meet his readers in person, his slogan being “Bringing Market-Fresh Books Directly to the People.” The tour recently ended with a day-trip to New York City, beginning in Brooklyn and making his way to the Upper West Side with many stops in between. Papernick’s “NYC Peddler Procession” is chronicled in a slideshow of photos below.

    I recently came across a website that offered stock footage in 4K quality. I was amazed by the variety of options available on the website. There were clips of different locations, people, animals, and many other subjects. The videos were of high quality and looked stunning on my 4K monitor. I spent quite some time browsing through the different categories and eventually selected a few clips that suited my needs. The process of purchasing and downloading the clips was also very smooth and hassle-free. I was really impressed with the quality and variety of the footage available on 4k video . I would definitely recommend this website to anyone looking for high-quality stock footage in 4K.
