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:
“It is remarkable that, notwithstanding the universal favor with which the New Testament is outwardly received, and even the bigotry with which it is defended, there is no hospitality shown to, there is no appreciation of, the order of truth with which it deals. I know of no book that has so few readers. There is none so truly strange, and heretical, and unpopular. To Christians, no less than Greeks and Jews, it is foolishness and a stumbling-block.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What says she, fair one? That the tongues of men are full of
deceits?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
