Powell’s Books: where “gigantic” isn’t hyperbole
Nothing can please a lover of books more than Portland’s one-city-block bookstore: Powell’s Books. With used and new books next to one another on shelves, Powell’s doesn’t try to hide the fact buying used books is cheaper. In fact, they encourage it. It’s another one of those progressive ideas in the Pacific Northwest. And with no sales tax in Oregon, you can stock up for beach reads, college textbooks, and Christmas presents and save 10%. Just make sure you have enough space in your luggage.
