Books, dictionaries, Brazilian videos, etc.These guys are friendly and fast, and their prices are good too!
Music in Brazil:
We recommend any of the Gabriella and Gramophone stores in Rio de Janeiro. Great selection and special sales. If you know what you're looking for, then Lojas Americanas in Rio have fabulously low prices...
In the US:
Tower Records in Boston and other cities.
Their store at the corner of Newbury Street and Mass. Ave has the best selection of Brazilian CDs we have ever seen in the US. Other stores also have a good selection. In the midwest, Borders on Kenny Rd, in Columbus, Ohio, has an excellent selection. Musicrama is the best source on-line.
