“All Aboard! A History of Florida’s Railroads” by Stephanie Murphy-Lupo will be displayed at the London Book Fair 2026

The London Book Fair 2026, held from March 10 to 12, 2026, at Olympia London, Hammersmith Road, London W14 8UX, U.K., once again brought together authors, publishers, and readers from around the world to celebrate the power of books and storytelling.

Among the exhibitors was self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet, which showcased a diverse selection of titles that deserve to be shared with a wider audience. At Stand 6A90, fairgoers had the opportunity to explore compelling works across various genres, including Stephanie Murphy-Lupo’s All Aboard! A History of Florida’s Railroads.

A notable highlight among the displayed titles, All Aboard! A History of Florida’s Railroads offers readers a rich historical journey through Florida’s railroad development. The book traces the state’s transformation from a largely remote interior before the Civil War to a connected region shaped by the movement of people and goods. From Northern tourists and rural settlers to enslaved individuals and laborers, the railroads played a vital role in shaping Florida’s social and economic landscape.

Author Stephanie Murphy-Lupo, a native Floridian, has lived across multiple cities in the state, including Jacksonville, Fort Myers, Coral Gables, Pensacola Beach, Gainesville, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach. Drawing from her extensive background in journalism and her personal connection to Florida, she reflects in her acknowledgements: “During a long career in journalism and a shorter span as an author, I found this book to be my greatest challenge. I am a native Floridian, so it was especially rewarding and enlightening to revisit the turf of past travels and those discovered through research.”

The event served as a meaningful platform to highlight works like Murphy-Lupo’s, connecting readers with stories that preserve history and inspire deeper appreciation for regional heritage.
