What a spectacular place for all your reading needs. We decided to check this place out since it's…read morea pretty popular destination. Though I'm not a huge reader, it's a book lover's dream. My fiancé wanted to find a specific Game of Thrones book, a few mins before closing time. We asked an employee for help and they were able to give us the exact coordinates and destination of where the book was located. We were able to find it quickly and easily. Having no sales tax made it a pay for exactly how much it was stated for. At check out, staff were friendly and welcoming. They even had free stickers and bookmarks that you could take. There was a book for everyone which made it a great value and place to visit. Wish we had more time to look around but it's huge inside!

I picked out books for myself and my kids. The best place ever. My favorite area to check out is the used section and new books at used prices! What a steal! You can also resell your books here for store credit.

This place brought me so much joy. They have so many small tchotchkes. I collect Monchichis and I…read morewas able to find some that I had not seen before. If you're into manga this is the place for you. They had Jojo's bizarre adventure in English and Japanese. It was hard to walk away without buying anything. They also sell calendars, collectible figurines, socks, stationery and so much more.

It's cool that they kept the sign but it is a little hard to realize this is now the Kinokuniya. They've got a wide array of items - including movies and books/manga, pens and stationary, stickers and charms, mystery boxes of various kinds, items related to popular media, decor, etc. It's fairly narrow aisles and a lot to look at. They have another location in Beaverton.

I love recommending this spot for people who visit Portland because it's got its own style. It's a…read morevery academic layout, books are stacked beside full bookshelves, older worn out copies of books have hand-written annotations on the side. The owners are very friendly and clearly love to talk about local events and their book selection. Couple things to note: - Hours shift a little bit than what is listed on Google, always worth calling in advance if unsure. - Phones are not encouraged on the shop floor (which I think is great). - The new location is a lot larger and has plenty of seating to promote spending a nice quiet afternoon surrounded by books. If you're looking for newer copies of books, Portland has plenty of other options. This selection is obscure and eccentric, it likely won't have the new titles in fiction. If you want to find a book or author you've never heard of, this is your spot.

My friend and I attended the Avery Lynch concert here on Friday 11/14 and I loved everything about…read morethis bookshop! The atmosphere was very artsy and inviting, adding to a very intimate performance room. This was our first time stopping in, and we already have plans to come back to explore the bookshop in its entirety! Lots of books everywhere! And when we called with questions regarding the venue, we were met with quick service and answers - I am assuming that the in-store service is just as hospitable! I recommend attending any of the concerts that are held here! The perfect little venue for smaller artists with the perfect amount of coziness to make you feel like you're being serenaded in a tiny living room.

All the profits from this store provide supplemental funding for library programs and services!! Make sure you pop into this little store anytime you're in the area.

The store was clean and organized. The prices of the items were comparable to other shops we had visited in and around Portland. Among the products, I loved their magnet wall full of unique designs.

The checkout was quick and easy. Highly recommend this store to anyone looking to do souvenir shopping in downtown Portland.

The book selection was pretty good not comparable to places like Powells though who have a way larger selection.
