Hey, it's Friday and time for pretty buildings. Outrageously pretty buildings. Outrageously pretty buildings will AMAZING staircases. And books. So, pretty building plus amazing staircase plus books equals a +1 for me.
Behold the Lello Bookshop in Porto, Portugal. Famous worldwide as one of the most beautiful bookstores on the planet. Built in 1906 and home to a staircase that is full of awesome.
Oh, stained glass roof. Added bonus points.

I've never seen a small library as royal and majestic as that one! Great incorporation of the glass roof that I have only seen in mostly skylight brisbane buildings. Amazing! Gives me a great idea for my thesis. :)
