A India Portugueza (2 Vols) - A. Lopes Mendes
This book contains various valuable information about not only Goa but also the other Portuguese possession in India. It's one of the few books written in the 19th century that captures the socio-economic aspects of Goa outside the city of Goa. Well documenting the customs, clothing and lots of other stuff. This book has lot of illustrations to compliment it which were drawn by the author himself. One speciality of the book is that it has the only illustration of a Goan sport 'Adão' that is no longer played in Goa.
