Powell's City of Books

$$ · Portland, Oregon

The one everybody means when they say they're going to Powell's. A full city block, new and used shelved side by side, color-coded rooms so you can pretend you won't get lost (you will). I still tell first-timers to start in the Blue Room and just surrender the afternoon.

Try: Climbing to the third-floor Rare Book Room, then finding a used copy shelved next to the new one downstairs
