I love Powell's! For people in or near Portland, they're a great option, though don't neglect smaller local bookstores as well like
@AnotherRead or@AnnieBlooms. If someone needs a mail-order option because they don't have a local option, Powell's is good for that too. -
My core goal is supporting a healthy, diverse ecosystem of bookstores everywhere. When B+N and Borders became the only brick-and-mortar game in many cities and towns, that made those places especially vulnerable to those stores closing, and now online is the only option.
