The man in the picture has a $25 million book, and you can meet him this afternoon

We know that many of our friends are avid readers. Some are even avid book collectors and have remarkable volumes on their shelves. So when our friends at the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair mentioned the gentleman in the picture, we knew he had to tell you about him. This is Owen Felix O'Neill. He lives far away from South St. Petersburg in Tipperary, Ireland. Mr. O'Neill possesses a fascinating little book he's offering for $25 million, not a sum we're likely to be spending on a book (or anything else, for that matter) anytime soon.

Still, Mr. O'Neill's story is compelling, and when we learned that this afternoon (Saturday) at 2:30 p.m. ET, sitting right here at the computer as you're doing now, it would be possible to meet the gentleman in person and hear his story, we thought some of our local avid readers and book collectors might like to know. Now you do.

If you follow the link above, you'll find a link to the live broadcast you can watch on Rare Book Cafe, which is a project of the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair. For your convenience, there's also a link on our Facebook page for Spare Room Mini Storage. (You've LIKED our Facebook page, haven't you? If not, you should right now.)

Anyway, if you're a reader and you watch the program, we'd love to hear about it.
