The Miami Book Fair International is an annual literary festival event realized in Miami by Miami Dade College.
First called Books by the Bay in 1984, the two-day street fair takes place since then at the Florida Center for the Literary Arts in Wolfson Campus. The centerpiece of the Book Fair is an event called "Festival of Authors," which features guest writers spanning several styles and countries.
Famous quotes containing the words book and/or fair:
“Would you approve of your young sons, young daughters—because girls can read as well as boys—reading this book? Is it a book that you would have lying around in your own house? Is it a book that you would even wish your wife or your servants to read?”
—Mervyn Griffith-Jones (1909–1979)
“According to the law of nature it is only fair that no one should become richer through damages and injuries suffered by another.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
