Opened in 1999, Ler Devagar bookshop (in English: "Read Slowly") is located in Lisbon's Alcantra district in a factory housing an old printing press.
Owner Jose Pinto talk about his daily routine: "I arrive in the early afternoon to check emails and make reservations for book releases and exhibits. I talk with suppliers and our regular clients, who tell me we have one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. I might then have dinner in the store's restaurant with some friends, business partners or one of my customers.
"We are a generalist bookstore but have lots of titles on art, architecture and theater. There's a music shop (CDs and vinyls from Portugal, Africa and Latin America), a bar (wine and tapas), and space for gallery shows (paintings, photography, sculptures and installations), conferences and concerts.
