About this Event

A Morning of Wisdom and Inspiration at Books & Books!

Join us for a special morning as we introduce Wisdom of the Century—a striking coffee table book that captures the voices, stories, and enduring wisdom of 90 remarkable Floridians all over the age of 90. This is more than just a book; it’s a tribute to resilience, diversity, and the extraordinary journeys of those who have lived through a century of change.

Author Merle R. Saferstein will be in conversation with Sandra Coiffman, the visionary behind the project; Pipe Yanguas, the gifted photographer who brought these faces to life; and Jenny Menzel, the designer who created the elegant keepsake. Adding to the magic of the evening, we’ll hear firsthand from some of the nonagenarians and centenarians featured in the book—sharing their wisdom, reflections, and life lessons that will leave you inspired. Their stories will remind us of the power of resilience, joy, and wisdom that comes with age.
