Powell's City of Books

(3 Ratings)
An entire city block worth of books

Massive does not even begin to describe the volume of volumes to be found in this world-famous bookstore. With multiple floors, passageways made of books, and dozens of nooks to lose yourself in, any bibliophile won't ever want to leave.

A must when visiting Portland! I'm not an avid reader, but this place was still worth the visit. Ended up purchasing a book that was signed by the author.
