Livraria Britânica in Principe Real is geared toward English language learners and teachers, its tag line being, “Serving the English Language Teaching in Portugal [sic] Since 1981.” As such, it has a peculiar selection: they don’t have books by Hemingway, just about Hemingway, for example, but they did have a Martin Amis novel recently. Nonetheless, you’ll find your Harry Potter here, and it’s perfect for children’s books and classics like Charles Dickens and D.H. Lawrence. You can order online if you like too, but it might be risky. Don’t even think about trying to find their address on their website for example. That’s right. Welcome to Portugal.
