Extra Shot 205: Mitchell Kaplan

Extra Shot 205: Mitchell Kaplan

Book lovers unite! When Mitchell Kaplan opened Books and Books in Miami in the 1980s, the city was far from the cultural mecca it is today. He's been on the forefront of the city's evolution, founding the Miami Book Fair and growing from one shop to a statewide place to be. Mitchell (Alisha's ex-boss!) joins to chat about book bans, the Harry Potter effect and why bookstores are so hot right now.


*Show Notes* Read along with Mitchell's references:

The Year of Dangerous Days: Riots, Refugees and Cocaine in Miami 1980 by Nicholas Griffin

The Reformatory by Tananarive Due

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling
