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:
“The face of the water, in time, became a wonderful book—a book that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with a voice. And it was not a book to be read once and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell every day.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Nor at so fair a pace
open the flower-petals
as your face bends down,
while, breath on breath,
your mouth wanders
from my mouth o’er my face.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
