Hoffberg during a 1999 Thanksgiving celebration with book artists. It became an international celebration in 2000 when artist B\u00e9atrice Coron launched the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.books2eat.com\/Books2eat\/books2eat.html\">Books2Eat Web site<\/a>. Traditionally, the event is celebrated on April 1 to mark the birthday of Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826), a French lawyer and politician who became famous for his book, Physiologie du gout (The Physiology of Taste).<\/p>\n<p>The Libraries International Edible Books Festival is free and open to the public.
