Powell's Books is a microcosm of Portland. Here you'll find people from all walks of life and interested in all manner of topics, from auto mechanics to Ancient Egypt. So, if your visit doesn't coincide with the schedules of the opera, the ballet or some other cultural event, you can always fit in a little time to read. Although experts agree that for the most part you'll want more than a little bit of time at this enormous book store that includes nine different rooms, one of which is the Peal Room. In the Pearl Room you'll find books on art, drama, dance, music, photography, film and architecture as well as an art gallery and a variety of special events including author signings and talks by famous people like photographer Annie Liebovitz and author Nick Bantock of "Griffin & Sabine" fame.
