From humble storefront beginnings in 1971 on a derelict corner of northwest Portland, Oregon, Powell's Books has grown into one of the world's great bookstores, with seven locations in the Portland metropolitan area, and one of the book world's most successful dot-coms (www.powells.com), serving customers worldwide.

Powell's distinctive synergy underpins their ability to fill orders for rare and out-of-print books... Including books for kids! A family-owned business from the beginning, Powell's was touted as one of America's 10 best bookstores by USA Today. With an inventory of over four million books, this Portland staple is sure to have what it is you're seeking. Powell's buys about 3,000 books per day to be able to provide these special books that their competitors can't.
