go to the big powells bookstore in Portland, Oregon

fantastic bookstore! 4 years ago

I live in downtown Portland, and this is such a totally fantastic bookstore. There are both new and used books, all well organized, multi-floors, a coffee shop to go and read to see if you really want to buy something, helpful people working… and they will buy back used books, too. It’s an amazing place. 4 years ago

is overwhelming, so many books, so little time 5 years ago

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME. We’re in Vacouver on business and I went on Monday. Bought books. Drooled and walked around in glorious amazement. Am going back, today, minutes from now.

ACCOMPLISHED. 5 years ago

There are trips to Portland and there are trips to Powell’s and never the twain shall meet. If you try to visit Powell’s “while you’re in Portland”, the Powell’s experience will, in its natural course, subsume the general Portland experience. Powell’s is just that awesome. 5 years ago

if i lived in portland i would go to powell’s at least once a week.
so perhaps it’s best and safest that i don’t ;) 5 years ago

Brett may be going to a manager’s conference in Vancouver (depends on whether he wins the permanent version of his current temporary promotion, but he’s pretty confident). If they haven’t reserved the entire place just for the conference, I’ll be going here with him—in Vancouver, just across the river from Portland. 5 years ago
