Books & Books, Inc. is the one of the leading independent booksellers in America. Founded by Mitchell Kaplan in 1982, it has since expanded to eight locations, concentrated in the Miami area and also with branches in Grand Cayman and Westhampton Beach on Long Island, and now Key West. Mitchell has been honored in the industry with the Presidency of the American Booksellers Association and was named Independent Bookseller of the Year in 2015. Each Books&Books location has its own flavor, from the sprawling 10,000 sq. ft. main store in Coral Gables to a tiny shop on Concourse D in the Miami Airport.
Purchased on eBay I like the striking design of this black and white bookmark - front and back - c. 1980s - and the quote by Jorge Luis Borges, an Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator, and a key figure in Spanish-language and international literature.
