Co-host Ed Markiewicz, fresh from the Books in Boston Shadow Show, congratulates Richard Mori, one of the organizers of Books in Boston, on a terrific show. Richard said there was good attendance, and Ed attested to having a successful show.
Meanwhile, co-host Lee Linn, who exhibited at Boston last year and had a mishap that resulted in a broken leg and a broken arm, said she missed being at Boston and said she intends to be there next year. The discussion continues with fond memories of the Boston show and of shows past in Florida, which is in its 42nd year.
Both Lee and Richard have exhibited at the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair for years. They hoped to convince Ed that he should be there, too. Alas, Ed revealed that he will be out of the country in March, traveling in Europe. Perhaps Ed will share video of his European adventures for upcoming episodes of Rare Book Cafe.
