GENERAL INTEREST
- The City of Books
The world's largest new and used bookstore is online, in case you hadn't noticed.
Powell's City of Books, in Portland, Ore., is almost that: a small city. The main store occupies an entire city block. Several satellite outlets, all huge, sell books as well. How many bookstores have you visited that have their own parking structure? These folks
make your Barnes and Nobles and your Amazons reach for the covers and sob. The online store is everything the brick-and-mortar counterparts are - well, except for the
coffee bars. Titles? Thousands. Service? Right there. E-books, paperbacks, trades, hardcovers, rare books, new, used, tech, fiction - it goes on and on. These people live and breathe books, and it really shows. This is the best place to check for any titles of
interest.
