Yup, it's the best. Love the rare collections room on the top floor, the guest speaker series, and of course the ramshackle diversity of options. Let's you feel human in a world that makes you wonder... Thanks folks for keeping literature and community alive. Best when it's not crowded with tourists on weekends. Quiet weekday evenings are almost sacred. Very good staff.
Waited outside for a half hour in the rain, but it was worth it. This is my favorite bookstore in the city ud83dude0d Happy to see the enforcement of safety for others in the store, it made my trip there relaxing and not anxious. Only a few rooms were open, hoping to browse more, but I understand their reasoning. Picked out some great selections; I will return for a cute book bag next time!
A local legend. They offer free parking with purchase so basically free parking because you truly can't walk in and walk out without something in hand. Not only do they sell books, but other rare oddities that even your local Portlandia residents can appreciate.nnPowell's is more than a tourist shop: it's a local hub for fun, a plethora of books and other fun trinkets. Arguably one of the best shops in Portland and other Oregon cities and exemplifies the unique culture of our beloved state.nnGrowing up between Oregon and Los Angeles, one thing you notice is how much the local bookstores say about the community. Powell's is a cultural hub and a staple in the communities where they reside.
If you can think of a topic, they're almost guaranteed to have a book about it. Wait lines can run long during the pandemic but well worth the wait if you're a bookworm or need a distraction while you're quarantined. Moderately priced... They're not cheap but they don't gouge.nI'll be in place seem to be avid and voracious readers, so if you need something specific or are looking for a recommendation, ASK!nIf the employee that you ask doesn't know the topic well then ask who you should talk to. I've always been able to find someone well versed in whatever subject I'm looking for.nGreat selection, mostly friendly employees, and a Portland institution. You're bound to find something you like! (Get it? Bound? HA Ha ha... Ahem. Nevermind)
Powell’s is wonderful! Any book you could ever need is here and if it isn’t, they’ll get it for you. They even have a nice little cafe where you can buy coffee and tea and read and study. Huge location, too. Gotta love Powell’s.
