The largest independent bookstore in the world! Explore an entire city block, 4 levels and 9 different rooms just full of books! Give yourself plenty of time to browse, there's so much to look at.

Located in the heart of Southeast Portland, Powell's Books on Hawthorne is smaller, more relaxed than the main store.

One of my favorites! Everyone who works here has the absolute best recs. They are so friendly and love to geek out. Check out their website for book clubs too!

If you're in the mood for a hunt this is the place to go! An old house turned into a bookworms dream hoard. They have a lot of old and used books and do keep new releases in stock too.
