Florida Antiquarian Book Fair exhibitors Richard Mori and Duane Stevens were guests on Channel 10's morning program Great Day Tampa Bay with hosts Java Ingram and Janelle Martinez on Thursday. </p><p>They persevered amid the chaos that is what you get when you pair up The Cat in the Hat and Thing 1 and Thing 2 to let everyone know about our celebration of Dr. Seuss on Saturday, the 120th birthday of the beloved author and illustrator from whose fertile imagination sprang that frolicsome trio. You can watch the entire festivities right here.</p><p>Richard brought along some unusual items created by Dr. Seuss in the 1930s and during the World War II era, when Theodor Seuss Geisel did his patriotic duty and aided the war effort. Duane brought a beautiful book with illustrations of insects published centuries ago in England.</p><p>You can see all of these items at the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair this weekend at The Coliseum in downtown St. Petersburg. On Saturday, as reported in the previous blog entry, the Cat in the Hat and Thing 1 and Thing 2 will be on hand for the Dr. Seuss birthday party.<br /></p>T.

It all begins at 2 p.m. We hope you’ll come join us.<br /><br />During his career, Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) wrote and illustrated more than 60 books, most of them innovative stories for children. Most fairgoers either grew up with the phenomenon that became Dr. Seuss or knew someone who did. <br /><br />Today The Cat in the Hat, Thing 1 and Thing 2, the Grinch who stole Christmas, Horton (who heard a Who), that gastronomic oddity Green Eggs and Ham, the Fox in Sox, the environmentally active Lorax, are enmeshed in our culture. <br /><br />In the program for the 2024 Florida Antiquarian Book Fair, we delve into some of the back story of the man who created the wonderful world of Dr. Seuss. We hope you’ll take the time to learn more about this beloved and creative man.<br /><br />Of course, the Dr. Seuss’ birthday is only a small part of the phenomenon that is the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair. Booksellers from all over the country gather once a year here in St. Petersburg to present opportunities for book lovers and others who are attracted to old prints, maps, photographs, and all sorts of ephemera like post cards, brochures, newspapers and so much more. <br /><br />Please enjoy the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair, and come all three days if you can. That way you can take your time and see everything. <br /><br />T.

<div style="height: 0px; padding-top: max(60%,326px); position: relative; width: 100%;"><iframe allow="clipboard-write" allowfullscreen="true" sandbox="allow-top-navigation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation allow-downloads allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-modals allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-forms" src="https://e.issuu.com/embed.html?d=book_lovers_paradise_magazine_q1_2024&u=tallansmith" style="border: none; bottom: 0; height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; width: 100%;"></iframe></div>
<p>It's written by people who know their stuff and it's dedicated to you -- the individual who wants to keep on learning about the things of the past that hold such fascination.</p>
<p>Perhaps best of all, it's free. The first issue is presented right here so you can flip through it right now. You can return to it any time you want to, and you can even download it, though it really works best on the issuu.com platform.</p>
<p>What's more, you can subscribe for <b>free</b> and get it delivered into your email inbox every time it comes out. That'll be four times a year.</p>
<p>So, what's in it? This first issue has a cover article with advice about building your collection. It's by Richard Oates, a retired educator who now has a business selling antiquarian books. He has been at it quite a few years and has picked up quite a bit of experience along the way. You get to benefit from his experience because he's willing to share some of what he's learned.</p>
<p>That's actually the case of everyone who has contributed to this first issue of the magazine. These are people who, like you, have an abiding interest in some aspect of old and collectible books, antique maps, prints, and all kinds of other printed material. They revel in it. For most, it's a hobby that turned into a business; an avocation that they have no intention of stopping. They're also people who are willing to share what they know with people who also have an abiding interest in these subjects. In short, they're generous -- with their knowledge and with their time.</p>
<p>You’ll find articles about collecting some unique genres. For instance, Black urban literature that came up in the mid-1960s, early Americana items produced as a growing nation began to figure out its new life, a perhaps obscure teen sleuth who’s much more realistic than Nancy Drew, fine art prints (often derived from old books). There’s even an article about what to do if you’ve been collecting for a long time ,or suddenly acquired an extensive collection, and need to get rid of it.</p>
<p>There’s also a fun piece by the authors of a new murder mystery novel set at the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair (It’s fiction, of course.) Authors Charlene Ball and Libby Ware are also booksellers at the Florida show, so they know whereof they speak. </p>
<p>We sincerely hope you'll get something out of this endeavor -- that it will enrich your life just a little.</p>
<p>You’ll find this information in the magazine, but we’ll put it here, too. Write us at the magazine for any reason — if you like it, if you don’t, if you have an idea you’d like to share: bookloversparadisemagazine@gmail.com. </p>
<p>We can’t wait to see what you have to say.</p>

Booksellers and authors Libby Ware and Charlene Ball of Toadlily Books in Atlanta, are exhibiting at the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair for the first time since they published their latest mystery novel Murder at the Book Fair. </p><p>Setting for this tale of biblio intrigue is, of course, a fictional version of the Florida show, a venue they’re quite familiar with after many years as booksellers showing their wares there.
Charlene notes that many mysteries dealing with booksellers have the characters spending little time in the store. They’re too busy out trying to solve the mystery. This book is different, weaving many books the authors like into the plot. </p><p>Libby and Charlene also talk about some of the book items they’ll be bringing to the show. Charlene specializes in children’s and illustrated classics. Libby is drawn to the occult as well as the women’s movement of 1970s and LGBTQ. </p><p>Libby has a lot of related ephemera. </p><p>Among the titles Charlene shows is a beautifully illustrated volume called Russian Wonder Tales. Another is Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination (1919). She also shows an oversized edition of A Child’s Garden of Verses (1900), illustrated by Ethel Mars and Maud Hunt Squire.
Libby shows a book called Witches Still Live (1926). She shows another about alchemy. In ephemera, Libby has three copies of the 19th century newspaper Banner of Light. </p><p>She also has a volume titled The Price of Salt by Claire Morgan, which was the pseudonym of novelist Patricia Highsmith. </p><p>A SPECIAL REQUEST: Please SHARE this program with your book loving friends.

<p>Richard Mori, The Road Warrior, always has something interesting he’s discovered in his travels. Richard, who happened to be in his New Hampshire warehouse, checks in with us with a couple of outstanding finds. First, he shows an rare early American printed booklet with an interesting
backstory. In addition, Richard shows a 39-star American flag from 1876, created for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the United States. The flag was manufactured for The Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. It ran from May 10 to November 10. </p>

<p>The current trend of challenging and banning books in school districts and libraries across the country has some book lovers concerned about the new restrictions on the right to read. Also worthy of note is the restructuring of curriculum in some school districts to omit critical parts of American history. Rare Book Cafe regular Gigi Best, who is a genealogist and museum owner, weighs in on the topics. Gigi and her husband Skip Richardson are owners of the Best Richardson African Diaspora Literature and Culture Museum in St. Augustine, Florida. </p>

Iowa City writer Larry Baker returns to Rare Book Cafe to discuss Harry and Sue, A Story of Love and Ghosts. It’s his new novel from Ice Cube Press, a heartwarming and clever tale of love found, love lost, and love found again. The discussion also turns to the Hollywood writers’ strike and widespread trend toward banning books. It’s a worthwhile journey. </p>

<p>In 1908, Ezra Pound, who was to become a major American poet and critic, left the United States for Europe. By the 1920s, as his reputation and career grew, he helped in the discovery and development of such writers Ernest Hemingway, T.S. Eliot, and James Joyce. </p>
<p>Recently, Rare Book Cafe co-host Ed Markiewicz drove down a road in rural Oregon to meet with a book collector with volumes for sale. He also had a surprise — a collection of original letters of Ezra Pound, which Ed promptly bought. In this episode, Ed shares the contents of his amazing find, to the delight of co-host Lee Linn. </p>
