    I can recommend "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Zafon is set in Barcelona and involves books, booksellers and "The Cemetery of Forgotten Books"

      @Sheal I've remembered to look up my photos of the outside of the libraries

      This was the bookshop (I wrote it was in Lisbon but is in Porto :doh:)

      The University library at Coimbra is a small building as part of the Uni.

      And another interesting library in the Convent of St Francisco in Lima. Peru

      I didn't realise this was a bit out of focus when I took it :sad:

        Thank you @shiney. The facades may not be as ornate as inside but imposing none the less. :thumbsup:

        I've almost finished reading this and not impressed. The story is bland and predictable.

          I am currently reading "Okinawa: The Last Battle" by Roy Appleman, after watching the movie "Hacksaw Ridge". If you haven't seen it I strongly recommend it.
