It’s the 38th episode of Rare Book Cafe — Coffee Break, and we’re thrilled to be back after our holiday hiatus.
Co-host Lee Linn reveals some of the items she’ll be bringing to the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair March 1-3 in St. Petersburg. Health update: Lee continues to heal after a bad fall at the end of the Books in Boston Shadow Show. She fully expects to be mobile for the Florida show.
Rare Book Cafe regular contributor Richard Mori (the Road Warrior) shares some of the items he’s bringing as well, including an early wartime poster by Theodor Seuss Geisel (who later became children’s book illustrator Dr. Seuss.) The Florida show is celebrating Dr. Seuss’ 120th birthday on Saturday of the show, so there has been some attention to items related to Dr. Seuss. Lee shares a look at Cat In The Hat shoes she’s planning to wear at the show.
Meanwhile, co-host Ed Markiewicz is back from his extended stay in Verona, Italy, where he was in an apprenticeship in book binding.
