Hmmm... Yes.
I'm about 30 minutes away, but I've learned to use their web search engine. That searches through *all* their inventory, including warehouses, and then have the books delivered for pickup at the Beaverton satellite store which is much closer. Yes, you can't check out the covers, but then I'm not a cover collector.
And yes again. If any of you get into Portland, Oregon, check out Powell's World of Books. 3 stories (2 1/2?), one full square city block. And yes, grab a map at the door.
