The Holy Grail of Bookstores

Erica Diaz December 19, 2014

Powell's City of Books

.

Portland, OR.

Words cannot quite describe the wonder of this space. It's a book lover's paradise and the largest used and new bookstore in the world.

Fun facts:

- occupies an entire city block

- 68,000 square feet all filled with books

- approximately 3,000 buy from there a day

- stocks over one million new and used books

- nine color coded rooms

- 3,500 sections (

bless those librarian's hearts

)

- dozens of author vists monthly

-

where you can publish your own book in the same time it takes to drink a cup of coffee

See what I mean? And it is literally even more amazing in person! Oh Porland, another reason to totally fall head over heals in love with you.

?

I pray for good fortune in everything you do, and for your good health - that your everyday affairs prosper, as well as your soul! 3 John 2 MSG

announcement

earlier this week of something we've been working endless hours on - we can't wait!
