In the heart of Sao Paulo, in Avenida Paulista you can find this mix of Borders, FAO Schwartz and Tower Records with slight bohemian, artsy air. Strongly recommendable.

This is by far the best bookstore in São Paulo, located few minutes' walk from the subway station and bus stop. You can find all kinds of books you can imagine and the staff are very friendly.

This is by far the most spacious, coffee shop feeling type of the bookstores I've ever seen. Free wi-fi, chairs to sit and read books or to check your emails (better have a book in hand, too). Vast selection of books in Portuguese and also English. And the cafeteria serves amazing pastries and cakes.

In a little mall on the corner of Ave Paulista and Rua Augusta, a great place to shop for books, music and have some coffee.

There are several stores of this one in town. The most traditional is the one in Conjunto Nacional, in Paulista Avenue. It´s huge and crowded in weekends. I go mostly in Shopping Villa Lobos unity. In these 2 places Livraria Cultura has an auditorium where pocket shows and lectures take place. If you like books, it is a must see... More

It has a large english Books section, and a great (though almost always packed) coffee place. Having spent 6 months in Sao Paolo, I spent a lot of time there stocking up my library.
