For those who don't know, besides the online site, Powells occupies a square city block in downtown Portland.
It's big enough that you need a map. This looks like the current one:
That's incredible!
Need to check that out during a visit to Portland.
You owe it to yourself. I have been lucky enough to visit Portland twice from the UK and Powells is easily one of the top 3 memories from each trip. You will not regret it. Unless you find something it the rare book room you just have to have. Then your wallet may regret it.
The first time I visited there, I wanted to live there. Like this book I read in school when I was in third grade, where the kids hide out in the museum overnight.

That's the one! I never could remember the name, but obviously I loved the book as a kid.
