PRESENTING:
THE NAPLES ANTIQUARIAN & VINATGE BOOK SHOWCASE
Hosted by:
Jonathan Papanikolaou, B.A., M.A.P.H.
At Naples Art Factory, we are proud to announce a new social meetup: The Naples Antiquarian & Vintage Book Showcase, which is a unique social group where likeminded bibliophiles can come together and share in their love for the written word.
Each participant will have the opportunity to showcase one book of their own choosing to share with the rest of the group. Participants will have an allotted time to present, provide anecdotes, deliver a synopsis, summarize, or just plainly read and provide opinion and fascination.
After a participant completes their showcase, a forum will be highly encouraged to allow other members to weigh in on the subject or tome.
Civil discourse and table manners are mandatory, as Naples Art Factory serves as an inviting, safe, energetic space to shared passions.
Light refreshments will be provided throughout the duration.
Naples Art Factory is proud to provide the venue for the Naples Antiquarian & Vintage Book Showcase. The meetup is hosted by Jonathan Papanikolaou, a historian, writer, researcher, and local educator here in Southwest Florida. Jonathan is a current World History teacher who specializes in ancient civilizations, the World Wars, Fall of the Eagles, and Imperial History.
His background in various ages and era in History alongside his extensive collection of Victorian books is the main reason for his desire to bring together likeminded individuals who share in the same passions.
Both terms have distinct definitions:
Antiquarian means relating to or dealing with antique books that are 100 or more years old.
Vintage means something that is at least 20 or more years older, but not more than a century.
The vision for the Naples Antiquarian & Vintage Book Showcase is to bring to light older works as a "show and tell" type of forum for passionate bibliophiles.
As such, these antique or vintage works must NOT be recent best sellers. This Showcase is meant to draw on older established works and not New York bestsellers, cookbooks, etc. Publication must be at least 20 years or older.
The Showcase can be vintage or antique works on any number of subjects, fiction or nonfiction.
Here at Naples Art Factory (NAF), we strive to build an inclusive, inviting, energetic space full of inspiration, creativity, and intelligent conversation. As such, all functions, workshops, and meetups will have the expectation that all participants and individuals display appropriate decorum and proper etiquette. These rules include the following, please see below.
