Livraria da Travessa
The newest branch of Livraria da Travessa is a great place to browse. There are some books in English, and an array of colorful (but pricey) coffee-table books. There's another branch around the corner and a third Centro branch on Ave Rio Branco 44, all with in-store café-restaurants.

Argumento
One of Leblon's fine neighborhood bookstores, Argumento stocks a small but decent selection of foreign-language books and magazines. The charming café in the back is a perfect place to disappear with a book – or a new friend. A new branch in Copacabana opened recently.

Livraria Prefácio
This charming bookshop stocks a small selection of foreign titles as well as music. And perusers need not go hungry or thirsty while they browse for titles: a slender bar in front delivers refreshing glasses of chope (draft beer), while seating upstairs and in the café in back offers heartier fare. The bookshop hosts an occasional poetry reading or record-release party.
