Powell’s says it is the world’s largest independent book store, and it may well be. They claim to have a million books under roof at their flagship location, in a building occupying a city block. The store is in downtown Portland, with lots of homeless folks wandering outside. Many of the businesses have security folks outside their doors.
We explored for an hour or so, with lots of used books on the shelves alongside new. Jim found a couple of useful genealogy books (never available in a new book shop) and Deb found some light reading.
