I know this is always a bit subjective, but a few personal notes:
- I'm surprised "Ler devagar" is there and not Lello (https://www.livrarialello.pt/en/about-livraria-lello https://www.livrarialello.pt/en/about-livraria-lello)
- I find Blackwell's in Oxford underwhelming and surprised Barter Books[0] (https://www.barterbooks.co.uk/ https://www.barterbooks.co.uk/) is not there instead
[0] Trivia: Barter books was were the "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster was re-discovered, in storage. After being forgotten by History.
- tecleandor 5y agoBut the line to enter Lello is looooong, and you have to pay a fee/ticket to enter (that will later be discounted if you buy anything) :( It works mostly as if it were an amusement park. You can even buy online a 17€ priority-jump-the-line-ticket.
- cafard 5y agoBlackwell's I don't remember distinctly, only that it would have had to be much larger to live up to an image of it formed many years ago in the US. It was then where Americans wrote to find European books, or so my professors told me.
