Online purchasers are only beginning to realize what people in Portland, OR have known for years, Powell’s Books is simply one of the best bookstores in the world. Centralized by “Powell’s City of Books” (the world’s largest independent new and used bookstore), the Powell’s “chain” encompasses four stores and two specialty shops in the Portland area. Serving up the entire catalog from all the locations, Powells.com presents a way for book lovers to find and purchase materials at great prices. Powell’s also is the only major bookseller to be unionized. The employee’s union runs their own portal, PowellsUnion.com, which allows readers and union supporters the ability to have a portion of their sales go toward the employee profit-sharing plan.
