Review & FAQ:
Hailed as the largest independent bookstore in the world, Powell’s Books is a vast book emporium with several locations around the city that has been providing book lovers and bibliophiles great reading material since 1971.
Synonymous with the free spirit of Portland, the quintessential Portland brick and mortar flagship store on Burnside supplies hands-on titles the day new books are published, as well as out-of-print titles and rare editions.
Built to impress, the store on Burnside is a welcoming space that encourages browsing, wandering, exploring, and reading in a bright and eclectic area.
