I was in BA two years ago and stumbled onto a marvelous childrens’ book store… I remember it being called el faro or el loro, or something like that. Anyone know what I’m talking about? Do you know if they have a website? I’m teaching Spanish Immersion elementary school and looking for quality children’s literature!

Con respecto, I can’t imagine writing all the marvelous copy written on these bookstores, yet not providing the addresses. ???? From 9 de Julio to Callao is about, what? 8-9 blocks? If I want to hone in on one of these stores, it would be much more helpful to know where each is. Maybe the phone number, too?

Just back from BA, and enjoying the Tango. Can i ask that the posters who write Spanish also provide some English comment.

This is so descriptive, makes me feel like I am walking around the bookstore myself, with my head tilted sideways marveling at all of the choices. Maybe I’ll go there someday with you!

I LOVE the book shops on Corrientes, you can spend hours in there without even noticing.

Hey, Alan, I just read your expat interview from April, it’s definately my favourite. You have a really good attitude. And your pareja-story is so damn cute, I was all ‘awww’ while reading it. Thumbs up & all the best!!

This is a fine posting that Rachel did. This is one of the best things to look for while walking on Corrientes. I mean books shopping, whether one look for a book, or just out of curiosity, entering one of those bookstores is a cool thing to do. Highly recommendable!

I’m so flattered!!!

I would be writing more, but the one problem is, I don’t have a digital camera right now to work with. If I could find someone to lend me one, it would be great…

Other bad news is I’m going to the States for at least a month … so I’m not going to be writing for quite a while! Believe me I will miss BA!! =(
