Livraria do Globo
Livraria do Globo (1883 - 2007) was a Brazilian publisher and bookshop based in Porto Alegre. Beginning as a stationary and bookshop, in the early 20th century the company expanded into publishing magazines, books, and even government bonds. The company's flagship bookshop in Porto Alegre was known as a point for intellectuals, artists, and political actors to congregate and discuss issues of the day. Its publications stood out for focusing on Porto Alegre and Rio Grande do Sul, whereas most other publishers were based in Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paolo. In 1956, the company's publishing arm and bookselling arm divided, with the former becoming Editora Globo. While the bookshop unfortunately closed in 2007, its building in Porto Alegre was designated as a historically important site and has been maintained. The publishing company Editora Globo continues to operate today.
