buying a CP guide book in Porto?

Time of past OR future Camino
September 2023 - Porto to Santiago, mixed route
I'm leaving home on Monday, I ordered a book and it didn't arrive on time: I have a book on "Kindle", but I am more of a paper book person: can I buy a second/first-hand book in English in Porto?
I'm a newbie, with minimal preparation and planning... have a first night (late flight) in a place near the cathedral and planned a very short first day - just as far as Matosinhos, and booked a night there. From there on it's all in a haze.... I'm thinking a few days on the coastal, cut inland to the central, and veer off to the spiritual near the end, if I'm still able.
I would like to have a book. nowhere to buy one in my country, and noone to borrow from: can I hope to find in Porto and if so where?

I understand your need for a paper book, But: I don't know your age or computer skills: I am 69 and I am only using @wisepilgrim 's apps on my phone. Although I am a retired computer engineer, I will claim that these apps are valuable and very informative for everyone.
