The
bookstore "Livraria do Globo" began as a little store located at "Rua da Praia" Number 268. Livraria do Globo was open daily from 6:30 am to 10:00 pm, including Saturdays. After some business success the bookstore started working as a copy and paperwork center, doing bookbindings and other small services, the building where it was located underwent a slight remodeling. Its first
branch store was created in
Santa Maria, near the old ferryway center of
Rio Grande do Sul. The "Livraria do Globo's" owners decided to create their own magazine, called "
Revista do Globo". In the 1940s, the bookstore company reached its highest success, with three branch stores in ''Brazil's South Region'' and offices in
Rio de Janeiro and
São Paulo. In 1986, the bookstore was sold to
Rio Gráfica Editora, property of
Fundação Roberto Marinho, who decided to rename its publishing house to Editora Globo, as it is still named. ==Main titles==
