Fundada em três de outubro de 1928, a Atheneu foi a primeira livraria do Brasil especializada em publicações da área de Medicina e Saúde.

Muitos médicos vinham de várias regiões do país só para comprar seus livros.
Na década de 70, a Livraria Atheneu expande suas atividades, inaugura sua matriz na Rua Bambina, em Botafogo. Assim inicia uma nova fase de desenvolvimento, cujo marco é a instalação da sua sede editorial na cidade de São Paulo, com o objetivo de aprimorar a assessoria aos autores.

    Atticus Bookstore/Café, North America
  1082 Chapel St. - New Haven, CT           
The bookstore opened in 1976, before the museum itself. It was designed by Jay Bright, who emulated the white oak finish of the Louis Kahn interior of the museum. The two comfortable chairs, visible from the street, and the custom designed fixtures were a significant counterpoint to the generic mall stores of the era. In 1980, we relocated an adjacent cheese store and expanded.

    Book Trader Cafe, North America
  1140 Chapel Street - New Haven, CT           
The ranks of New Haven's used bookstores have thinned a little in recent years: Whitlock's on Broadway is gone, so too is the fine Elm City Books, which had a good run on York Street a few years back. But even if those stores were still around, the Book Trader would be a worthy winner of this category. And even if you couldn't buy a delicious sandwich or muffin here, it would still be a major destination for book lovers. The key is selectivity. The shelves are not weighted down by mediocrity, but rather lifted up by good stuff. Some of it is obvious: You'll get your Ian McEwan, your Kazuo Ishiguro, your Jonathan Spence. Some of it is more obscure: Sitting on shelves in recent weeks has been a first edition of John Ashbery's hard-to-find novel, which he co-authored with James Schuyler. And you can also buy a good paperback mystery or sci-fi adventure.
