Are you looking for a book that you can't find? Did you try looking in large book shops? In the used book shops on Avenida Corrientes and Callao? If it's not in any of these places, you can find it at "El Rufián Melancólico," which specializes in old and rare books. Among tons of books, posters and some records, you will find papier maché sculptures of lovable comic-book characters that are sure to bring you back to your childhood: Superman smoking Kryptonite; a recreation of the "Geniol" ad head; Micky Mouse on a streetcar and comic-book aviators are just some of the characters that you will find here, which create a magical environment out of a mix of books and sculptures. This shop was created by Joel Novoa, a versatile, bohemian artist and bookseller, with more than 20 years of experience in the business, who is also a sculptor. A passionate artist who believes in the importance of the bookseller's role in society.
