Powell’s is one of the most popular destinations in Portland (both for tourists and residents), and there are plenty of reasons why. With more than a million volumes, it’s the biggest independent bookstore in the United States. Let us count the ways we love Powell’s.
1. It’s a Portland institution.
"We have a social responsibility to the community and to our industry to fight censorship, promote literary awareness and encourage authors and their works."
2. The selection is unbeatable.
The main store, located at NW 10th/Burnside takes up an entire city block. If you love to browse for books (new and used), you can get lost here for hours. Their magazine selection is amazing, too.3. Shop at six locations.
