Liz Dolinar: Looking Out Week 3

Livraria Lello is a bookstore in Porto, Portugal, designed by architect Xavier Esteves. Built in 1906, it's exterior is neo-gothic, but it's inside the shop that the woodworking magic happens. A grand staircase occupies the middle of the shop, with beautiful wooden bookcases all around. The bookstore is covered with ornate carvings and fantastic examples of woodworking.
