Powell's manages to be both huge and hospitable - one of the finest bookstores you'll find anywhere

Powell’s is the real deal. If you love books, you can spend a day here and still not want to leave. Nice in-store cafe, re-sorting racks for the books (so you don’t have to worry about putting them back in the right place), great used book bargains, nice staff picks & descriptions, information desks everywhere, clear maps and reasonably sane categorization. What’s not to like? Well, you’ll occasionally pay a good bit more for a new book than on the soulless-website-that-shall-not-be-named. But if you want this kind of place to exist in the world, that’s worth it, isn’t it?
