I'm sure Powell's has been reviewed a hundred times, but it can't be said enough: this is the place to browse when you've got an afternoon to meander as the rain falls outside. It's also the place you take your visiting relatives, your geeky date, or your kids when Harry Potter comes out. There's a great cafe, used book buying, and row after row of books, new, used, antique. There is also a huge selection of journals, calendars, magnets,, and literary zines and journals. For book lovers in a very literate city, Powell's is a dream come true.
