“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)!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“To me it’s a perfect bookstore. Very well curated and the guy who runs it is friendly and knowledgable. I’ve found some great occult book here and there are always some low price classics.”
“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.”
“One of the only non yuppie stores around here, the whole street feels gentrified with most of the overpriced businesses (eyesores) this is a classic bookstore you can love that has lots of affordable new and mostly used books, and they have a variety, down the street there is a store that sells mostly cook books but small inventory and is again a yuppie store so that is just ugly and annoying.”
“I was looking for an impossibly esoteric book (a specific Tibetan-English dictionary) and stumbled across it at Arches. Their price was less than HALF then nearest best price at you-know-where. So this is my new go-to, either in person online.”

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“love this place. Just went in for the third time. They have really great editions of classic revolutionary pieces. Love their small cd collection as well -> just got a Joni Mitchell CD”
“I assume that I will love this place. Toth, the master, declares that the Age of Aquarius is upon us, and every man, woman, and indeed everyone else, we are all a STAR. THANK YOU.”
“Awesome selection of local yarns & lovely staff. They have delightful knitting meetups for the community as well! Check out the Two Rivers book store they share a space with as well.”
“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.”
“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”
“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 just love this little bookstore! Their space may be small, but their selection is *so* well-curated—I make a point to visit when I’m in the area and am always able to find something interesting. Highly recommended!”
“An impressive selection, with hard-to-find philosophical texts and translations on hand. The staff are friendly and quite knowledgeable. A surprising stock of graphic novels available too.”
“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.”
“This store is an absolute gem! Hands down the best customer service I have ever experienced! I cannot thank Ruby enough for her kindness. I HIGHLY recommend supporting this local business and I most certainly look forward to returning in the future!”
“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!”
“every time i come here, the workers are so helpful and nice. I have never came and someone didn’t go out of their way to help me out! once I looked for raccoon related items for a birthday, and a worker walked me thru the whole store to find something.
the team at this barnes n noble are so sweet that I always come back :)”
“Wow, seriously you gotta come in and check this place out! Truly a gem in the rough of Portland I saw some jewelry like I've never seen before, so I'm going to be saving up for it ?”
“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.”
“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.”
