Powells Books: Large, International, Independant, Online?

[Stefan Schuber]

Powell's is amazing beyond compare; their selection, range, amenities, 
organization (check out their Web site), helpful staff, deli for lounging 
and reading ... can't say enough good things about them. Bring large sums 
of money when you visit -- or leave your money locked up in a bank. No 
trip to Portland, Oregon, is complete without a visit to Powell's.
