Powell's Rocks!
This was a great store. The selection is amazing, especially in the Rare Books Room. The selection is amazing. I think there were only a few random books that they did not have in stock.
You can truly go in there and wander around for hours on end without seeing the same aisle twice. If you're an avid book person, you must visit Powell's before you leave Portland.
