Tombolo Books in Saint Petersburg, Fla., hosted the launch event for Anywhere Else: Essays on Florida (University Press of Florida), a collection of essays by Tombolo bookseller Rachel Knox. Knox explores images of Florida in pop culture, together with her own experiences growing up in the Tampa Bay area and discussions of issues central to life in the state. More than 130 people attended the event, held in the bookstore's courtyard, and enjoyed a specialty drink made by neighboring bar Good Intentions, and some fun book swag. Knox was in conversation with local poet and journalist Tyler Gillespie.
