There are only five or ten books solely devoted to Bradbury, but there are about a zillion journal articles and books such as this

Critical encounters :
writers and themes in science fiction /
Author: Riley, Dick.
Publication: New York : Ungar, 1978
Document: English : Book
Libraries: 656

with essays on Bradbury's work, which should help satisfy those constantly asking about his themes. With over 650 libraries listed as having it, ask a reference librarian near you!

I don't have a scanner -- technological primitivist that I am -- but both books I listed above (collections of critical essays) were recently purchased through Amazon.com. They are still available. If Amazon.com supports shipments to Portugal, I would recommend ordering those.

the two you mention Mr Dark I already have, I was talking about those Dandelion presents, but thank you very much. I often use amazon but it takes too much time and it is very expensive I pay more for them to send me the books than the books cost!!
