The key is parking garages...Powell's garage sucks, and they charge for it now. You can park a block away in the Whole Foods Market(the chain that merged with Bread&Circus) garage, which is pretty decent, go to Powell's, come back, and buy a snack while you get your parking pass validated.The problem is that it's just as easy to splurge at Whole Foods as it is at Powell's. (Especially if you're hungry) >I have! Woderful place if you're trying to find something you can't >find anywhere else. :) I've never been to the sub-stores, but the main >store I've been to plenty.

>My favorite place in Portland...and no, the smell in't bad. > >You within stomping distance, Meph? Not anymore. Not for, oh, a few years now. But I still remember wandering it fondly, and remember getting a copy of 'The Deed of Paksenarrion' in the trade paperback there. That's gone now, and been replaced (binding broke), but without Powell's, I don't think I would ever have read it. -- Geoff Depew - Darth Mephron Haberdasher to Androids, Dark Lord of Sith Tech Support.

>Y'know, they finally rereleased those. Yup... I have most of it in e-book format, now. Including all of the 'Familias Regnant' stuff she's been doing since she started playing with McCaffery. I rather enjoy it. > >>>But I still remember wandering it fondly, and remember getting a copy >>>of 'The Deed of Paksenarrion' in the trade paperback there.

best little bookstore I ever saw was the semi independant UK kingdon of Hay-on-Wye. (someone declaired it independant of the UK for a joke, and well...) anyway, it's a small welsh village full of the sort of second hand bookstore that just screams L-space, and I kid you not, it's easier to by a book than food. We tried. (there's something like 40-50 second hand bookstores in the place, none of them less than large. the biggest used to be at least an acre) |
