Powell’s Books on Hawthorne

From business to fiction to kids books , they have great selections! This place is like a huuuge library , i loved it! I'm glad my incredible friend brought me here :)

A more laid back browsing experience than the downtown location where you can still easily get lost among the shelves.

Great store. Many gifts . Small version of original store well stocked

Calmer than the downtown store! Good selection. Also games

super cute powell's outpost. the staff is friendly and super willing to share recommendations!

Smaller than the big one, but still a sizable bookstore .

Great coffee inside the store at Fresh Pot, which serves Portland's own Stumptown coffee .

Larger then you think when you first walk in. Keep venturing back, lose yourself in the shelves and smell that amazing book smell!

The Portland section is great! (Actually, the entire travel section is great.)

Good offshoot of the main store. Nice selection and distractions.

Helpful and friendly staff . Decent book selection for the size of the location.

books , coffee , novels , people... wonderful place

Easy to navigate and find what you want quickly.

The smaller sibling to the main location still has a large selection.

Ha, I got lost twice in here. This is probably as huge as the amazon warehouse only much cooler!

Make sure you factor plenty of time to spend in this bookstore ! An hour just ain't enough :)

not super great, its more about toys and gifts than books , unlike the Pearl District main brick and mortar

u can check their inventory in advance if u want to find that elusive title @a good price.

The 2nd best book store in Portland. The first is the other Powells on Burnside.

Best selection of books anywhere!

Nice things to look at (has more then just books , like gnomes, Japanese cooking sets, etc), but way over priced!!!

Coffee Shop 's Table near the Children's Books is an ideal combination.

go-to shop for books I tell myself "I really should've read that one."

It's bigger on the inside.

Use the restroom in the coffee shop . The key is on a hook by the water

Meet Jonathan Case on Thursday, October 20, 2011 at 7:30 PM as he discusses his debut graphic novel , Dear Creature.

Meet John Jeremiah Sullivan on Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 7:30 PM as he reads from his new book , Pulphead.

Books and coffee .

Sci-fi section!!

More like a gift shop rather than a bookstore .

Heard this was an amazing bookstore . Going to checkout next month when we are in Portland.

Yes amazing!

I could spend days in this bookstore !

Shop!
