[Publib] a vendor of Portuguese Language Books?

[Kevin Okelly]

Hi:

I am still looking for a vendor of books in Portuguese. Brazilian Books 
in Miami appears to have gone out of business. My dealings with Luso-
Brazilian Books were not promising. 

Livraria Portugal demands pre-payment, to which the City refuses to agree.
The city also insists on a U.S. taxpayer identification number, which 
Livraria Portugal  and Livraria Cultura, being based in Lisbon and Sao 
Paulo, respectively, do not have.

Any suggestions are fervently appreciated.
