I saw the movie a decade ago and I honestly don't remember it. What is not depicted in the movie is that the business involves a lot of attic and basement dwelling. It's way less fancy than the movie makes it to be. However there are buyers and sellers of all times. It's more like the series black books.

I have very few 20c book and yeah they are very fragile. If you have some and want to preserve them, you should put them in a plastic non acidic foil. If they are already cracked then take them to a bookbinder and make him put a layer of thin paper underneath where the cracks have appear in order to stop the spread. Alternatively, custom made boxes are also an option but they are very expensive.

Book restoration is a very interesting and difficult craft to master. I never dabbled with it and I know only of one bookseller that does that to his books. Sometimes I glue spine covers back to the spines and restore sections of cut pages with acidfree foil but those aren't serious interventions.
