Biblioteca Joanina

Reviewed By ivocarneiro - Macau, China

This magnificent University Library was built in the first decades of the 18th century when the early arrivals of gold from Brazil turned John the V in one of the richest kings in the world. It is, therefore, gold baroque that dominates the Library large bookshelves, ceilings, and arches with the royal symbols. The tour is relatively fast since visitors can only have a panoramic glance of the bibliographic richness of the Library. We see olf books, some with beautiful covers, but then we don't know much about these books even when you ask about it to the tour guide. The visit would be more impressive and educative if the Library becomes displaying to the visitors a set of its main bibliographic treasures.

Livraria Ferin

ferin is one of the oldest bookshops in Lisbon, Portugal. In the old centre of the city, chiado, Ferin is very well known by it's titles on history and philosophy and a wide variety of portuguese, french and english books. this bookshop was founded back in 1840 by a belgian family that still owns the business. the bookshop is beautiful and it has two floors, the 1st floor - were you can look at some wonderful and not so easy to find books, some of them hand-binded; the ground floor is a beautiful exhibition place that has a intense program of open conferences, book presentations and even film and music presentations. come and visit us!

Reviewed By 8-drank-was-merry - Naples, United States

Livraria Ferin, which has the look and feel of an older bookstore than Bertrand, is the second oldest bookstore in Lisbon, established in 1840. They sell new books, but also used books, have an old book repair and binding service and have a small old working type set printing press from the 1600s. In the basement in the back right is where you can find the book press, many old books and the repair area. John Koenig wrote of the word he created (vellichor) and that it meant: the strange wistfulness of used bookstores, which are somehow infused with the passage of time — filled with thousands of old books you’ll never have time to read, each of which is itself locked in its own era, bound and dated and papered over like an old room the author abandoned years ago, a hidden annex littered with thoughts left just as they were on the day they were captured.
