Books & Books is South Florida's most important literary institution, a Mediterranean-inspired bookstore that has graced downtown Coral Gables since 1982. The store's courtyard cafe, shaded by tropical foliage, is one of the most beautiful reading spaces in America and a beloved venue for author events that have featured Nobel laureates, heads of state, and literary icons from around the world. The Latin American literature section reflects Miami's position as a bridge between the Americas, and the art book collection draws on the city's thriving gallery scene. Founder Mitchell Kaplan's vision has made Books & Books not just a bookstore but a cultural embassy for the literary arts in South Florida.
