Founded in 1972, the Esquina Livraria e Papelaria was initially, and with the dimension of neighborhood bookstore, linked to the new book. Over time, the rare, curious and valuable old book has naturally been imposed and is today the main care and interest of this house. As a bookstore they have, as a specialty, books of Art, Genealogy, Regionalism and, most particularly, the old book, that is, the 16th century, 17th century book. They have the privilege of having already passed through their bookshelves the best and rarest books of classic Portuguese literature. They sell but also buy, interested in buying libraries at home or abroad, as well as isolated books of value.
