Shelf Awareness
Australian road trip for bibliophiles: "Because you can never have too many books," Buzzfeed showcased "17 wonderful Melbourne bookstores every book lover must visit."---
In Lisbon, Portugal, Tell a Story launched in 2013 as a "nomadic bookstore that moves around the city all year long, bringing Portuguese literature to international visitors," Ozymandias noted, adding that the "vehicle, a gorgeous 1975 Renault Estafette, has character, but the soul of this literary omnibus is its driver, Francisco Antolin. He's a 36-year-old Lisboner who loves books and talking about them with whoever stops by.""We wanted to help people discover Portugal through our literature, because stories are a great way to understand a culture," he said. Regarding his customers, Antolin observed: "I learn so much from them. Sometimes they come back and share books with me or even teach me something I didn't know about an author.... Culture has no borders."
