Powell's Books at PDX and six other outlets located throughout the metro area complete the Powell's Books family, with specialty stores for gardening, home renovation, and advanced sciences, for a grand total of over 4 million books, all available through the website.
Spacious and friendly, the City of Books truly has something for everyone: shelter on a drizzly afternoon, the perfect present for a beloved bookworm, or lively conversation over a cup of coffee.
Much more than a store, this is a reader's Mecca: every booklover should visit at least once. What to bring: Reading glasses if necessary. Because of the size and many interesting features, allow for plenty of time to browse and shop.
