130 Titles Snapped Up At Miami Book Fair
MIAMI - Tens of thousands of people attended the Miami Book
Fair November 21-23 and many were drawn to the Pathfinder book
stall, where 130 books by revolutionaries and about working-
class struggles were bought in English, French, and Spanish.
Titles related to Cuba were the most popular, with 41 sold.
The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels was
the top seller with nine sold. "Are these their own words?" a
young woman asked volunteers who staffed the table as she
picked up Marx's work. A couple from Israel came to the stall
twice before deciding to buy Israel: A Colonial-Settler State?
and Palestine and the Arabs' Fight for Liberation. People
attending the fair also bought subscriptions to the Militant,
Perspectiva Mundial, and the Cuban publications Granma and La
Gaceta de Cuba.
