When you come across a place like Tome Dom, you celebrate the fact that there are still corners of the world that survive the Amazon and Barnes Noble stores on the planet, because they are more intimate, more human, more pleasant. Its owner told me that in the mornings she would run to get there, open her place, enjoy the aroma of her books, start her classical music in the background and start serving personally, one customer at a time.
In Tome Dom the love for books is reflected in every corner, because there is not one that does not have one. It invites you to browse them, enjoy them, buy them, make them yours. The experience is intense and charged with a single idea: love for books. Not for the paper object itself, of course, but for all the imagination summarized, the ideas and concepts, the stories and facts in each one of them.
The great bookstores have a lot to rescue from this kind of corners in the world, because they add in the direction of our emotions, intimate fibers and associations. They are places that are worth highlighting as triggers that take you to review the past, present and future in an instant, to especially reiterate the value of what is ours, what is known and acquired in generations.
