Extra Shot 205: Mitchell Kaplan

  • Summary

  • 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.
