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:
“A book is like a man—clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
“Tell her that goes
With song upon her lips
But sings not out the song, nor knows
The maker of it, some other mouth,
May be as fair as hers,”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
