Powell’s Books
www.powells.com
Portland, Oregon
This is the best bookstore on the web that you aren’t using. Really!
Powell’s Books started out as a brick-and-mortar used bookstore. Or make that “store that...

Do you love books?
I love books, my whole family loves books. We buy a lot of books. Always looking to save a bit of money where I can, I've found Powells.com's used book offerings to be just right, under certain circumstances.

Pros: Stocks nearly every book known to mankind; literate staff; great e-letter.
Cons: Search engine and results page could be more user-friendly.
If you've never heard of Powell's City of Books, you've been missing out on one of the greatest wonders of the modern world. Or book world, anyway. Seriously.
Powell's Books could very well be the largest bookstore in the world. Situated...

Powell's City of Books in Portland, Oregon is my "go to," bookstore for finding obscure and/or favorite titles. Not exclusively an used bookstore, Powell's has an excellent selection of often hard-to-find books. If you can use Amazon.com or ...

Powell's is one of the few "name brand" bookstores on the web that still carries ebooks, so they pretty much get all of my business. I'm an ebook fanatic because they store so easily. Barnes and Nobles stopped carrying them, then Amazon did, but good ...

Powells.com is an alternative to more popular sites such as amazon.com when it comes to purchasing books. While you may find an occasional surprise here, the quality of this site simply doesn't match some of its competitors. The product selection of ...

I do totally not recommend this merchant if you are a person who is looking for a textbook for your class. Because most students want their textbooks to arrive in timely manner in order to do their homework assignments, or even prepare for exams. ...

One of my college professors recommended Powells.com to me, when ordering textbooks. Some of the larger names in textbooks, such as Amazon and Barnes and Noble, did not have the books in stock, particularly as some of the books were a bit rarer finds. ...

This company is not who you want to turn to when you are in need of a book rather quickly trying to save money and trying to prevent being ripped off by the college bookstore! I order 4 books off of 4 different web sites on the same day (a Tuesday) ...

I was very happy with this order. This was my second purchase from Powells.com. My first, a copy of "Carter Beats the Devil" was at a great used price. I can't believe I got a copy of "all the Pretty horses" for $5. I will continue to shop there as...

Site was easy to navigate. Ordered a law school guide that hadn't been published yet, so it took a few weeks to ship, but no one (amazon, etc) had the book either. Book arrived promptly and was well packaged. I would definitely order again....

Powell's is the greatest. I live in New York City, and I had looked all over in every borough (Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan) for out of Print Books and a DVD. No one had them used or new. Surfing the web, I came across Powell's, not only did ...

Terrible service. I ordered a couple of books as Christmas gifts last year from Powells.com. After my books did not arrive for several weeks I contacted them and their response was, "We show your books were delivered on" such and such a date. "We hope ...

Pros: Very good prices on both new and used books available. Very large selection available.
Cons: You may prefer book shopping offline.
I have ordered two books from Powells now and I am very pleased with the service I received. The prices were very competitive and I saved money. Shipping was cheap. I received my books in just days, at the time I had ordered these I was over 2900...

I purchased used software and it came in original packaging. It didn't look used at all. The price was $35 less than on other sites. I did not have to pay shipping, and the package arrived...
