2025 Detroit Book Fair

2025 Detroit Book Fair

Detroit Festival of Books, Sunday, July 20th, has expanded to over 250 book vendors from 15 different states and Canada. Matching its earlier attendance records, the upcoming Detroit event anticipates a large and lively crowd of bibliophiles -- booksellers, book buyers, connoisseur collectors, teachers, students, and everyday people from the Motor City. As AI and other innovations continue to challenge the future of the physical book, public book events remind us of the contribution of real-time, in-person gatherings to the cultural health of a city. These events are nurturing: they give us joy and connection.

Posting for Ryan Place & Hedger Breed,
2025 Detroit Festival of Books. July 20, 2025:

"Our sincere thanks to Bruce McKinney (Rare Book Hub in ‘Frisco) and especially Maureen
Mulvihill (Princeton Research Forum, NJ) for this excellent preview article, with images, on the 2025 Detroit Festival Of Books. The event was large enough that the 20,000+ attendees could shop comfortably rather than browsing five-customers deep. And glad to report that book sales were steady. And good to see a younger crowd plus some new and interesting book vendors. All that we do is collaborative; so thank you, Maureen & Bruce. You contributed to our success."
