It is hard to describe Powell’s City of Books. The Washington Post described Powell’s “as perhaps the best bookstore in the world.”
- Approximately 68,000 square feet of books
- 122 major subject areas and 3,500 sub-subject areas
- Occupies a full city block
- Stocks over a million titles
I bought the following books:
- Sin and Syntax: How to Craft Wicked Good Prose
- Writing Romance
- Novelist Essential Guide to Creating Plot
- Police Procedures & Investigations: A guide for writers
- Writer’s Rehab: A 13 Step program for writers who can’t get their acts together
- Leuchtturm 1917 Plain Notebook
It was a fantastic book experience. If you love bookstores, this place is a must. It was one of the greatest book shopping experience I have ever had. It was so massive, it was almost overwhelming.
Here are some pictures that do this place absolutely no justice.

And no bookstore would be complete without a coffee shop!
