Book It!
N
ow in its 51st year, the Jewish Book Fair con-
tinues as one of Detroit Jewry's most highly
anticipated yearly events. Held at the West
Bloomfield and Oak Park buildings of the

Book Fair is sure to once again bring together Jews of all
backgrounds and interests.

who'll unpack the volumes, help visitors with their selec-
tions and shepherd the more than 40 national and local
authors scheduled to appear. Our hats go off to these
"people of the books."
Our Book Fair preview, including
a full schedule of events, begins on
page 79 (and is also available via JN
Online at
vvww.detroitjewishnews.com).
Throughout this issue of the Jewish
News, you will encounter many of
the authors who will discuss their
work at this year's Book Fair. (Come
back to next week's Jewish News for
more author interviews.) We hope you take the opportu-
nity to meet them in person, and in the process, nourish
your literary soul.
