Sprawling over more than 68,000 square feet and featuring more than one million volumes, Powell's City of Books offers something for absolutely everyone! This mega-bookstore is filled with new and used books on every topic from astronomy to zoology.

Powell's City of Books takes up an entire city block in downtown Portland and is world-renowned for their unrivalled selection, particularly their out-of-print and hard-to-find titles. Lit lovers will spend hours in the Rare Book Room checking out first editions, autographed copies, and collectible volumes, while science fans will flock to Powell's Technical Books, with sections on computing, engineering, and more. In addition to the endless shelves of books, you can also explore the store's art exhibits or check out one of the author events held regularly in the Basil Hallward Gallery. You can even sell your old books in the Orange Room.

It's no wonder The Washington Post called Powell's "perhaps the best bookstore in the world." Come see for yourself!
