It is said that "No stay in Portland is complete without a visit to Powells", well as an advid reader I would have to agree.
Powells is huge!! With over one million used, new and out of print books in stock, you will definitely find what you are looking for in one of their many rooms. The bookstore provides you with a map of the store so you can find your way around the 68,000 sq. ft. space and over 4,000 subjects spread out in nine large rooms. (Yes, you heard right).
The Washington Post referred to Powells as "one of the best bookstores in the English-Speaking world".
Open 365 days a year, 9 am-11 pm, there is even store tours available. There is also a "Powells Technical Books about two blocks.
Why, books of course, but they also have a large selection of audios and videos as well and anything that is printed. Leave a Comment

I miss the Powell Travel book store. It was a great idea to me. I have since found a similar idea in Washington DC.
A complete travel book store. Sadly it is now closed. Leave a Comment Theme: Books

As any literate Portlander will tell you, it’s absolutely essential that you visit Powell’s. Why? Because it’s the biggest single independent bookstore in the world. Because they have entire shelves dedicated to any obscure topic you could think up. Because their rooms are color-coded. Just go.

Powell's is incredible. It is one of the largest book stores in the world. Just the number of categories of books it has is over 4700. If you like books, you could spend days if not weeks in here. New and used books, foreign language books, and antique books. You could also order from them on-line, but that's no fun.
a couple of dollars to however much you want to Leave a Comment Theme: BooksAddress: 1005 W Burnside St., PortlandPhone: (503) 228-4651Directions: See websiteWebsite: http://www.powells.com/

Powell’s. Oh god, it’s like you’ve died and gone to book-heaven. Stretching over an entire city block this mammoth bookstore has subject/genre areas the size of your average bookstore. If you love reading there is no way will be able to exit this store without having found at least a handful of things you want, have never found anywhere else or can’t really afford (but are going to buy).

Portland has a bunch of thrift stores. There are many Goodwills and others. Off of 82nd and Holgate there is a Saint Vincent DePaul's bookstore that has softcovers for 1.00 and hard for 2.50. It's behind Walgreens. The goodwill on the SE side is best for books also. Parking is very limited and prices are high at the Goodwill on the SW side, near 18 street I believe. There's a Red White and Blue store in Oregon City, pretty close to the downtown area on the main road. If you hit that store at the right time you can get amazing deals on great items. And there are always tons of yard and estates sales around Portland. Best quality items tend to be in the Southwest. Boy I miss looking for bargains there! Fun fun!

 The Purple Room, Powell's by Rixie
Each section in the maze-like interior is named after a color. In the Rose Room I found a lovely little paperback about a Thai girl's struggle to adjust to a new country, for only $2.98, and in the Purple Room I was astonished to see on display a used copy of my own out-of-print book.
If you're shopping with other people, keep your cell phones with you. It's very easy to lose track of each other. Leave a Comment Theme: BooksAddress: 1005 W. BurnsidePhone: 800-878-7323Directions: DowntownWebsite: www.powells.com
