A Karen Brown Recommendation
|
1005 W. Burnside Street
Portland, OR USA |
No self-respecting lover of books would consider missing a turn of several hours at Powell’s City of Books, 1005 W. Burnside Street. It takes up an entire city block (in a building that once served as a used-car dealership and car repair shop) and holds a computerized inventory of over one million titles—the largest used and new book selection under one roof in the world. Color-coded maps are available at the front desk for making your way through literally thousands of sections. The Seattle Times has aptly called Powell’s “a place of staggering ambition, hidden in the very humble wrapper of a worn-out warehouse.” (Open from 9 am to 11 pm every day; 503-228-0540 or 866-201-7601, www.powells.com.)
