Quintin Smith, 10, a bookseller of St Petersburg, Florida, has ink for blood.
His grandfather, Michael Slicker, is celebrating 40 years in the field at St. Pete’s Lighthouse Books.
Quintin’s mom, Sarah, is managing director of the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair.
And last April, Mr Smith decided to hang out his own “Open” sign as the 36th annual book fair’s youngest dealer.
Saturday he’ll be telling us how he made out in the cutthroat world of the St Petersburg Coliseum, and his plans for conquering his second book fair next April.
Join us at 2:30 pm Saturday as we peer into the future of rare books.
