Powell Books/was Latin Names?

For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of going to Powells, it is the
largest bookstore in the US (maybe in the world), having juts expanded into
its second city block.  It's so big (how big is it??) that when you walk in,
you get a map!

The neat thing about Powells is its eclectic nature.  This is no Barnes and
Noble-- but more like a giant 'corner bookstore'.  If you're in Portland,
don't miss it (although fair warning-- you can easily spend a whole day or
evening and not begin to get through all of it).

I agree with Bill- their on-line services are wonderful.

"Since Maurice couldn't be here tonight, and since the mayor is out of town
and the former mayor's out doing some "guy thing", which he had better not
ding himself doing, me, being the former mayor's almost-wife, was asked to
honcho this get-together."
