Curated ranges

What fills the shelves

A diversified, quality-led selection with a focus on literature, poetry, the arts, and children’s books — including small independent presses — plus stationery chosen to sit beside the reading.

Stack of poetry and literature volumes on the shop counter

Literature & poetry

Portuguese and translated fiction, essays, and poetry — new voices beside lasting titles. We keep room for the small presses that publish carefully and slowly.

Art books stacked beneath the gallery wall

Arts & illustrated books

Art history, exhibition catalogues, photography, and design-led volumes — the same shelves that feed conversations in our gallery.

Children’s picture books displayed face-out on low shelves

Children & young readers

Picture books, first readers, and young adult shelves chosen for story, illustration, and the pleasure of reading aloud together.

Stationery

Our own stationery lines — notebooks, pens, ink, bookmarks, and paper goods — for writing in the margins and starting the next notebook.

Book suggestions & shop orders

We like arranging meetings between books and readers. Beyond the physical shop, you may order by email for home delivery or collection on Rua Ferreira Borges.

Ask for any title

What we show online or in the window is only a slice. If a book is not on the shelf, write to us — we will check stock or help source it.

Blind Book Parcel

From a minimum of €15, we prepare a surprise parcel of books chosen for you. A joint initiative with Portugal’s Rede de Livrarias Independentes.

Gift cards

Load €10, €20, €30, or €50 and let the recipient choose. Ideal when you know the reader but not the next title.
