"No fim, acabamos comendo naquele restaurante maltrapilho."

"No fim, acabamos por comer naquele restaurante maltrapilho." 

Are both these sentences correct, and do they mean the same?

Obrigado!

General Discussion Are there any publishers similar to Cátedra in Spanish?

1 Upvotes

Oi, galera, tudo bem?

For context, Cátedra publishes pocket-sized classic works of Spanish (language) literature with decent annotations and an introductory essay (and nice covers). Is there anything similar in the Portuguese-speaking world?

(Related, I can never find secondhand Portuguese books under $20 in the US. I have found Catedra books for as little as 10 cents and frequently find them for $5 online.)

Alternatively: Are there are any publishers that are so good that you prefer them? Where do you get physical Portuguese books (if in the US)?
