At 265 Aragon, you'll find an historic Gables building with a unique open courtyard, directly across from a modern parking garage. They call it Books And Books, but that's a bit misleading.
Yes, the book lovers are there in droves. Who knew so many people could, or would, read? It's a trend that's not showing signs of abatement. But they are not alone.
It's Books And Events. They offer a dizzying list of meet-the-author events, poetry readings, film screenings, readers' groups, live music, shows for kids, a great open bar in the courtyard and a bakery cafe restaurant that serves a surprisingly good selection of quality food at modest prices.
It's Books And People. You can meet the most famous people in the world there, shake their hand, listen to them speak and interact in close quarters, surrounded by books of every imaginable sort. You can meet up with your pals for a beer at the bar. Sample the catch of the day on a date with someone special without busting your budget. Enjoy a glass of wine with trendy new urban dwellers and listen to breezy live Jazz in the open air.
It's Books and Much More. It's a cultural centerpiece for our city. It's a place to go just about anytime of the day or evening to stimulate your brain, catch up on the news of the world or simply chill out.
It's Beyond Books. It redefines the book store model. It adds greatly to the cultural fabric of Coral Gables more than we might reasonably expect from our favorite little neighborhood bookstore.
It's Books And Books -- and it's one more reason why Coral Gables is one of the greatest little cities in the world.
