“My friend and I shopped in both the bookstore and the accessories shop. The owners were so nice and helpful. We left with some great finds and will be back again! Highly recommend for everyone to check it out.”
“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)!”
“What a gem! Stumbled upon this place while looking for another bookstore- wonderful, relaxing vibe. And I asked the person working for a couple of recs for a mystery, I bought them both, and enjoyed thoroughly. I can’t wait to go back! (The books, if you are interested, were The Roundhouse, and The Expendable Man) I can’t wait to go back!”

“The greatest bookstore I’ve ever been to.
Events, book clubs, and more every week. Seriously! 6 adult book clubs/month right now!
Amazing welcoming community.
Allies. Friendly. Helpful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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.”
“I used to go to Powell’s but I recently switched to Broadway books after hearing Anne Patchett rave about them :) They have a smaller collection and they’re a bit more expensive but I enjoy the experience more and the lovely employees are always up to chat about books. It’s a heavenly escape from the real world when I get to wander their books. They happily special order anything they don’t have in stock and I always see lots of regulars coming in for their orders. Today I overheard people chatting about the everybody reads book and I was happy to join the conversation. This is what I imagine a bookshop should be. Many thanks to Broadway books.”
“Picked up some becky chambers and kafka. Owner was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and more than willing to help me find what I was looking for. The type of person you want to become friends with.”
“Great bookstore for all things sci fi and fantasy. If they don’t have something they will likely get it for you and always have great recommendations. Super friendly staff.”
“I really appreciate a local business who values all customers, new and old!!Nearly Read Books gives a fair price for used books that you sell and has a huge selection of paper backs neatly arranged,almost up to the ceiling!All kinds of books!!You get a credit towards your used books you buy, and you can get a 30% discount off new books...which the balance is paid in cash.The owner, Kelly, is warm and friendly!”
“This is a great place if you are into anything occult, witchcraft, or esoteric related. The owner specializes in rare books but sells a wide variety of books still in print. Dark Star Magick also has classes on a variety of subjects in the field. It is worth an in person if you are in surroundings cities and of course you can order from the store online.”
“Great Bible Book Store. Unfortunately, the last truly Christian bookstore in the Portland, OR, area. The staff are wonderful and friendly. They are helpful and knowledgeable. I wish there were closer options since I live about 45 minutes away, but I'll be back again in the future.”
“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.”
“Such a cute store! I was surprised at how much versatile inventory they had. I ended up buying a body oil and candle for my partner. The associate was very helpful too!”
“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.”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“Loved the decor, selection, and person behind the counter was very friendly. Their prices are full price- so you most likely will pay a little more than somewhere like Amazon- but support your local business & I consider it like a finders fee, they have such a curated collection that the books I buy I wouldn’t have known of otherwise. :)”
“A delight. I trust the staff's recommendations; they’re so knowledgeable about the material, and it’s curated beautifully. Get a punch card: you’ll be coming back.”
“I love how I feel exploring this shop because it elicits a sense of nostalgia for the quaint bookstores of yesteryear. Monograph Bookwerks offers an expertly-curated collection of books, art, vintage ephemera and gift items. The owner has done a remarkable job displaying product in creative vignettes throughout the store, with richly hued books standing like sentinels of history, art, literature and culture. This environment really is my happy place. I love the scent of aged paper and polished wood. I feel inspired by the thousands of voices and ideas presented on the pages here, and I can't imagine a world where places like this don't exist. Monograph Bookwerks is located in a popular area of NE Alberta, brimming with fascinating retail shops, restaurants and coffee shops. Street parking can be a bit difficult on weekends and evenings, but visitors will be far more likely to find spaces if they venture down the side streets. Look for the brightly colored arrow proclaiming "Books," pointing to the ivy-covered shop on the corner. It's so important to shop small and local, and to support the business owners who pour themselves into creating enchanting establishments like this. So take a moment out of your busy life to explore this delightful corner of Portland. Hopefully you'll enjoy your visits just as much as I do.”
“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!”
“Found several business books for our lending library and glad to support this wonderful nonprofit that is providing books to underprivileged kids in our community.”

“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.

“I am so grateful for this place, so many memories. The website is wonderful, but I have to say that there is so much more to see in the store. It's magical ✨️.. Thank you ?”
“So much fun! An amazingly library-like collection of books in its meticulous completeness! Magazines, other printed materials and books, books, books, but organized in a tidy living/reading room that would grace any Victorian manse. He had cookbooks going back to the late 18th century. We found a fascinating copy of a 19th century guide to housekeeping that ranged from cooking and cleaning to tonic and tincture making and advise... which... shockingly given its age... proclaimed the health risks of smoking and included a picture of blackened lungs of a smoker after autopsy for effect! 150 years ago and people knew this? I guess it will take us another 100 years then to finally accept that climate change is real ...”
