The importance of books in our homes is a historical principle for Americans. Our culture has been constantly infused with new pens, translations and poets. Literature is an American tradition with many tongues, the music of words has an immediate translation of dialogue.
Historically this country’s every home owned more books than one could find in Europe’s. Today many of our poor and wetched still arrive well read and wanting to write. Books are still treasured as a piece of art,gifts to be lent or fiendships lost if not returned,even in this internet paperless present time the book is trusted as personal resource, more reliable without battery life. Finding a good book has become easier, as so many of our popular entertainers,networks and local press still promote to our tastes,imagination and interest.
The Book Fair coincides with Miami’s International Film Festival. Books have been made into film since it’s beginning and the Film Industry would be paddleless without good writters, so it is very fitting the two Festivals coincide. The Book Fair has been promoting talking books for decades with volunteers from the Lighthouse for the Blind. Cartographic collectors, botany enthusiasts, the interest is as appealing as any Fair is, it’s books for everyone and the opportunity to thank, question or just shake hands with a favorite author.
