Powell's City of Books

How do you not give 5 stars? It's a huge independent book store that seems like it was multiple buildings combined into one. It makes for some cool stair and level connections between sections/buildings and allows for various distinct sections. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They even have a coffee shop inside.

What a huge and amazing book store. Staff are helpful and friendly, there are more books then you can browse in a day, and the atmosphere is amazing. Keep in mind with the size of the store over multiple levels bathrooms can be a good walk to get to. Also staff can be hard to find at times, best to wait for one to show up at the help desks!

Oh my gosh!!! This place is amazing. I am so glad I can say I have visited the worlds largest indie bookstore. I know we didn’t see every inch, it can be quite overwhelming for a first time visitor. You know a book store is awesome when they have their own maps so you can find our way. We made a point to go to the rare book room which is full of awesome treasures and left with a couple of souvenirs.

I absolutely loved visiting this bookstore. I spent 2hrs here and it definitely wasn't enough time. Take the whole day to spend here if you can. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. I would come back if I'm in the area again.
