Last year when we were in Portland, a cousin of Ruthi’s recommended that we check out Powell’s Bookstore in downtown Portland. With Boots' medical events we ran out of time before we had to cut short our stay and head back to Reno.
Now that we had a little car off we went. OMG!!! Ruthi spent an hour in just 2 rows on the first floor (Orange Room). We would need a month camped downtown to even begin to appreciate the immense selection!!! Luckily, Ruthi was able to review some options for a customer but not buy anything! SO, if you are ever in Portland, do go see Powell’s. With our modern age of email, tweets, texting, etc. etc. etc. it is amazing to find every imaginable genre and title just on the shelves for a look-see.
And, then we found a used book store - “Barely Read” in Gresham (NE suburb of Portland). While nowhere near as large as Powell’s, it is tightly packed with every possible genre for $0.60 each. They also took all of our books we’d finished - that rarely happens.
