Meet Me in São Luís: A Feira do Livro
This post is part of an ongoing series which seeks to introduce the readership of this blog to the many fascinating aspects of one of Brazil’s best-kept secrets–the city of São Luís.

Heaven must be something like this.
Soon after we arrived I in São Luís people began telling me about the book fair. As a card-carrying bibliophile, I eagerly awaited its arrival, set on spending at least a whole day there.
Unfortunately, our schedule began to fill up so that, when the book fair arrived, I was only able to spend part of one evening perusing shelf after glorious shelf of books. Still, it was an amazing experience.
Yet, in a gripping display of self control and financial responsibility, I bought only one book.

Books, glorious books!
