“Awesome place if you like books, they have so much stuff it’s crazy, I added a picture of a shelf that was a bunch of different versions of tokens books. Crazy place but awesome 10/10. Also, the better comic books are in the children’s area.”
“This place is amazing, though I really need someone to take my wallet before I walk in. Charles is super friendly, and was so kind to my 6 year old daughter when we came to browse (and left with $100 worth of books). Highly, highly recommended.”
“Best bookstore in Portland! Fun and comfortable to wander around, and the book recommendations I received were spot-on.They also have stacks of books with similar themes, which is just a fun way to find something new.”
“A small and favorite spot of our family. Great for graphic novels! So many inclusive works, and a lovely reading nook for kiddos to have a quiet spot before picking something to take home. They also offer subscription boxes for monthly comics, but no discount on purchases with those. Staff are friendly and helpful with recommendations! We also love the illustrations done of staff (and Nick drew them)!”
“I am not a reader, but my kids are, so every time i go to Powells, i feel welcome, and it does interest me to read more and start to, but i am not pushing it yet. But it's getting better. The other reason i love Powells employee here are just really nice, and they do care about what you need and what you're looking for. I hope they can continue that genuine concern and care for all their customers. I highly recommend powells and don't be shy to bring your young ones.”
“Solid bookstore and friendly owner. Didn't find what I was looking for here yet appreciated the books and selection that he offered. Heaps of books and worth checking out if in the area.”
“This is a great store. For the last few years, we've been sending books to great nieces and nephews out of state. The staff at Annie Blooms have been wonderful helping us pick out books and better yet picking them out for us. The kids have loved them and equally as important, so have their parents.”
“This is the best occult book store I’ve have ever been in. Deep stuff, less airy fairy fluff. They also are very fair with offers on your collectable occult books that need a new home. Can’t recommend enough.”
“After hours of desperately searching for a particular bag that was sold out everywhere, I came across Ruby Press’s website. I found the color I wanted (which felt like a small miracle), and quickly checked Google Maps to ensure the legitimacy of the storefront. I placed my order, and my bag arrived in perfect condition 3 days later. As a Hawai’i resident, that shipping time is faster than Amazon Prime! There was also a handwritten note enclosed with my purchase, thanking me for shopping small. Personal touches are what set these kind of shops apart from major retailers and supergiants like Amazon, and make me feel like the money I’m spending goes to real people who are making their own dreams a reality. Thanks Ruby Press! I’ll be sure to stop by in person if I am ever in town — until then, I’ll see you online.”
“This is such a fun store! The owners really have quite the collection on their hands. If you have an hour or so to spare you should pop in here sometime. You’ll definitely want to give yourself some time to really look around and explore. Tightly packed with stories and endless knowledge, you’ll find yourself getting lost in this tiny place.”
“Wonderful bookstore with lots of titles related to the Japanese culture including Manga and Anime. Besides the books you'll find merchandise like vento boxes, chopsticks, plush figures, plates and more based on Ghibli Studios movies.”
“When this place was open years ago, it was OK. Lotta books.But it's been closed for a minute at their original loction.Update: their new spot is beautiful. Obviously, lots of books but art too. Go visit”

“Best book store I've been to in a while! I love used books and they do have their selection! They also buy paperbacks for a good price ! They do not accept most hardcovers though . But still one of my favorite book stores I've been to in OR. The owners are amazing and their doggo is to die for OMG. I love it here it's so warm and inviting!!”
“Loved it. As a English, German, French speaker, I appreciate that books in all languages are sorted into the shelves. I think there was good selection of Spanish and Italian and a smattering of other languages throughout. Powell's has its place, but there's nothing like a bookstore with the vibes of a great uncle's library, the one he's been assembling books since 1937.”
“Such a beautiful two-story bookstore nestled into Clackamas Town center Mall which exists in 2024 is a delight to experience. Really enjoyed the vinyl LP record section.”
“I have been here on multiple occasions and it's been a perfect experience. It's well organized and priced exceptionally well compared to other used book store stores. She had a wonderful Star Trek and dungeons and dragons Novel collection. Miss 1 start Eugenia sounds like a monster and probably needs to get some. Chill out lady. Happy book shopping friends!”
“This is my favorite place! Great selection of books, especially for being a little shop. Lots of cute gifty-type stuff too, I’ve been here before every major holiday/birthday since I’ve moved to Oregon City.Plus you can get an excellent coffee/tea and a delightful vegan scone while you’re there.”

“Others have spoken about the selection of products and the customer service; I'll speak about the preview booths. For starters, as an FYI, paper towels for cleaning up are located at the back of the arcade to the right of the entrance, if you're feeling like you're going to need them, grab what you need before going in to a booth because there aren't any in the booths themselves- not a problem just know that. Yeah, there CAN be creepers who loiter and try to open doors even though the store has plenty of signage- pretty typical of adult arcades honestly. That being said, it seems as though some of the creeps periodically mess with the locks so they won't work - make sure yours works. The booths are big and relatively clean. The booths are equipped with upholstered bench seats (like a car or restaurant booth seats); though large the vinyl upholstery is old and cracking - could certainly use an upgrade. The video players could use an upgrade as well, the brightness on the screen is pretty high and washes out a lot of the color in the videos. Comparatively small, but diverse selection of videos.”
“I first shopped at this store in 2008 and have continued to buy books here periodically ever since. I order online and receive books by mail. Very excellent customer service, good and large selection of literature in Russian. Good prices. I recommend this bookstore.I first shopped at this store in 2008 and have continued to buy books here periodically ever since. I order online and receive books by mail.

“This place is a hidden gem! I thought it was going to be small but they have multiple rooms. Lots of children's books, classics, educational materials, beautiful vintage books, history, and some Christian as well. The owner Eli is very nice and really knows his stuff! He was telling me about all sorts of vintage children's authors. Overall this is a great place to spend bookish time and keep your money local. Happy reading!”
“I was visiting Portland and heard about this store from a friend and had a really fun time looking at comics and chatting with the owner about books. Great place and will for sure be back next time I’m in town!”
“Had no idea this existed until we randomly walked by it. Such a cool store! The books that the owner carefully selects are outstanding and space is fun. Highly recommend.”
“Its the best used book store around the owners are the nicest people they have been around a while and know so much plus they give incredible value for used books so you can buy new ones with the store credit (and a very small fee for new purchases which is change ur paying for each book) i can't imagine Powells ever doing something so generous”
“Helpful, friendly, courteous, and kind service for all your scouting needs. Uniforms come with the CPC patches already sewn on. They can sew others on and do hemming while you wait if they are not too busy.”
