The best. Today I got books by Tirzah Goldenberg, Georges Perec and Alejandra Pizarnik. Appointment only, mask required during Covid times. I miss going to reading here!
Wow--talk about true quality. The owner is a kind soul who I really enjoyed meeting. He helped me find some new poetry to enjoy. His discount sidewalk cart selection is the best in Portland, not just the stuff nobody wants, and inside you will find precious treasures, both great deals and splurge options. If you are looking for rare editions and unusual finds, this is a great place to shop. His selection of poetry is extensive and diverse, as I think that is the owners special passion. If you have an old soul, you will love this place. I wish I lived closer so that I could stop by often to see what is new. I also love the aesthetic. Its not cramped and stuffed to the gills like many used book shops. Its clean, organized, and curated--a calming sanctuary for book lovers. I just love it.
Carefully curated poetry bookshop with rare finds and small exhibits of artists who intersect with literature and conceptual writing. Best to call ahead – the hours are a bit eccentric, and the owner occasionally leaves for personal trips without updating online posted listings.
Amazeing Treasures!A person can get lost in the wonderfulVolumes of knowledge and the hours of reading that can be found and the Owner is very helpful and nice.
A wonderful place to (re)discover the historical avant garde and current documents.
I am always amazed at the books, The owner and the help and knowledge shown.Oh Cant wait for the Pop Corn Machine!Just kidding David
Fabulous book store. Especially if youre looking for rare or out of print books.
Infamous.Everyone ---(living here and/or visiting)----- should stop in at least once, and browse through the various sections of reading material.Have a drink next door at Vesuvio when youre finished.
Amazing little bookstore.
Very helpful staff
