We're on Rare Book Cafe today! Join us!

We're  on Rare Book Cafe today and we'll be sharing a look at some of our recently acquired collection of aviation books. We hope you can join us.

Rare Book Cafe is a new live streaming program accessible on the Internet at Blab.im. You sign in with your Twitter account, then search for Rare Book Cafe under Scheduled programming. Use a Chrome or Firefox browser. It won't work on other browsers yet. If you'd rather just watch instead of participating, you can see it live on the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair blog. Just click on the link. After it's all over, you can still tune in to the replay at the same link.

We would be remiss in not mentioning that we're in the midst of Our Thankful Sale during the month of November. Everything under $100 is available at 50% off its regular price. Everything over $100 is available at 20% off. That includes books, of course, but also maps and prints. If we have time, we'll show you some of our extensive collection of maps as well.

The Rare Book Cafe is sponsored by the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair and affords book lovers an extraordinary opportunity to learn about and enjoy seeing rare books and talking to antiquarian book dealers. It's the next best thing to being at a book fair.

Florida Antiquarian Book Fair

Michael Slicker was the founding president of the Florida Antiquarian Booksellers Association and has served as chairman of its annual Florida Antiquarian Book Fair since its inception.

The 39th annual book fair was set for April 24-26, 2020 at The Coliseum in St. Petersburg. Unfortunately, the coronavirus pandemic intervened so the book fair had to be postponed. It will be rescheduled at a later time.

The fair is the oldest and largest antiquarian book fair in the Southeast. Learn more about the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair and the Florida Antiquarian Booksellers Association.
