No trip to Portland is complete without a stop at
Powell's City of Books, perhaps the greatest used and new bookstore anywhere.
No biblical scholar's trip
should be complete without a stop at one of Portland's
Windows Booksellers outlets. Better yet, plan in advance: Check the
online inventory at their much larger bookstore in Eugene, and ask them to have your order ready to pick up when you arrive. The result is great selection, great prices and $0 shipping. As an added bonus, the copies of Caird's
The Language and Imagery of the Bible
and Davies'
The Setting of the Sermon on the Mount
that I ordered in were previously owned and annotated by Robert Kysar and Krister Stendahl respectively.

I still carry fond memories of my one trip to Powell's back when I was an undergraduate.
Yeah, Powell's on Burnside is great. As long as your in town there is also a store out on Stark 9003 SE Stark St Portland, OR 97216. The used to have a collection but I haven't been there since the advent of internet book stores.
We're adding it to our July itinerary. NOW. And we're bringing a trailer.
(Wait - I forgot these cost money....)
;)
Clay: Pilgrim Discount on Stark was a great store, but it went out of business a few years ago.
re: "it went out of business a few years ago."
I should have assumed that.
