 Thursday November 1st, 2007 - celebrate the launch of their new book, "Miami Beach: Blueprint of an Eden" at Rizzoli's midtown location. Please join them for a reception, talk & signing. Book Description: Long before condominiums sprang up in Miami Beach, the land was dense with trees and shrubs, mostly mangrove: an image that is today hard to fathom.
Two prominent natives of Miami Beach tell the tale of how one of America’s most glamorous and exciting cities rose from a raw tropical sandbar to become home to the heavyweights of business, entertainment, and politics in MIAMI BEACH: Blueprint of an Eden, Lives Seen Through the Prism of Family and Place (Collins Design; December 2007; Hardcover, $49.95; ISBN 978-0-06-134616-3). Having grown up during Miami Beach’s mid-century heyday, Michele Oka Doner and Mitchell Wolfson, Jr. share their family histories and paint a dazzlingly unique portrait of the city with sepia-tone photographs, drawings, letters, and countless other memorabilia. When: 5:30 PM Where: Rizzoli Bookstore, 31 West 57th Street (between 5th & 6th Avenues). Cost: Free and open to the public Contact: Chase Bodine Email: chase.bodine@harpercollins.com Phone: (310) 369-7223 Website: http://www.micheleokadoner.com/ |
