Biblioteca Nacional
Paulo Herkenhoff
"The National Library of Rio de Janeiro and its collections are unsurpassed within Latin America and it is among the best libraries in the world. In writing the history of its collections, the author describes the strengths of each section of the distinguished library, established by King John VI of Portugal in 1810. This luxurious edition offers a wealth of reproductions and an extensive bibliography"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
