I remember I needed a book that they didn't have at that time, so they offered me the option to import a copy of that book. It's ease to get lost inside this place, since it's one of the largest Bookstore in Latin America. Sometimes they use the space for artists to sign autographs or do a performance.

There is a lower level mainly filled with children books and things of that matter along with a cafe that I didn't get to check out because I was still browsing with books in hand. I totally forgot to go check it out after I had purchased my books so will need to go another time. There were two other upper levels - one with psychology, self help type books and more and then the highest level was small, but moderately filled with design, architecture, food, travel, music, and culture. I spent some time up here as there was a comfy armchair and not busy with people. There were some books up there I liked, but they were heavy and didn't want to take them back with me that day. Found that this bookstore was very close to where I was staying which was cool cause I was able to go back and forth to drop stuff off multiple times to free up my hands and lessen my carrying weight while I continued to explore the streets.

Must say that I was super happy to find this 'hidden' gem. I was pretty tired of the superficial…read morehype around coffee lab nearby. This place provides excellent coffee and nice quiet court yard behind the bookstore. I'm reading my kindle though, just saying.
