"Press Books - the literary division of HarperCollins, containing 4th Estate and Perennial - approached us to come up with ideas for helping them celebrate the forthcoming 25th anniversary of imprint 4th Estate ...

Over a thousand books were used to make the film, which was shot over two weeks in a makeshift studio in North London. Twenty animators worked in shifts to get it made, often sleeping under the set itself.

The film celebrates both 4th Estate’s output, and the world of booklovers: a world made out of stories. The film contains numerous in-jokes and references to the books it features, and everything, from the ships in port to the cinema in Soho to the man fishing in Central Park is made out of books, covers, pages and words."
