Edward Lemon of Fine Book Fairs is our guest and Rare Book Cafe co-hosts Lee Linn and Richard Mori are particularly elated because they’re anticipating participation in The Atlanta Rare Book Fair at Oglethorpe University February 27-March 1, 2026.
It has been several years since there was an antiquarian book in Atlanta, and so Lee, who lives near Atlanta is quite excited, about you might expect. Richard is becoming an old hand at doing Fine Book Fairs events, so he’s elated, too.
The discussion morphed into Edward recounting how the Fine Book Fair started and also into the news that Kermit Roosevelt III, the great-great grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt, will offer a talk during the book fair event.
