" From humble storefront beginnings in 1971 on a derelict corner of northwest Portland, Powell's Books has grown into one of the world's great bookstores, with seven locations in the Portland metropolitan area, and one of the book world's most successful dot-coms (www.powells.com), serving customers worldwide.
Powell's roots begin in Chicago, where Michael Powell, as a University of Chicago graduate student, opened his first bookstore in 1970. Encouraged by friends and professors, including novelist Saul Bellow, Michael borrowed $3,000 to assume a lease on a bookstore. The venture proved so successful that he managed to repay the loan within two months.
Michael's father Walter, a retired painting contractor, worked one summer with Michael in the Chicago store. He so enjoyed his experience that upon returning to Portland he opened his own used bookstore.
Walter swamped his original location by buying every marketable used book that came through the door, finally pushing the whole operation into a former car dealership. The old car dealership has undergone many transformations, and Powell's today looks little as it did when Walter opened his shop in the early '70s. " ... more

If you can't decide whether to buy on the spot, you can always come back and retrieve the deals you've saved in your "memo."
AddALL searches all the data bases of all the major on-line bookstores. This makes us the biggest book database on the Internet, or in the world, for that matter.

" Originally, the information on this site was part of my regular bookselling site. It developed something of a life of its own though, and grew until it became disorganized and difficult to maintain. I decided that it had finally grown up to a point where it needed its own room...
Thus Littera Scripta was born. The phrase is Latin for "The Written Word", and the inspiration comes from the maxim featured on the main page.
Vox audita perit, littera scripta manet (The spoken word perishes, but the written word remains).
This site is intended to be a resource for readers and booksellers who are new to the internet. I have not tried to include an exhaustive set of links, as there are several really wonderful compilations available already (see sidebar). But I have tried to point out those pages which really shouldn't be missed.
If you think I've missed something, or find anything that's confusing or just plain wrong, then please do let me know. I welcome corrections and additions.
Enjoy! Deanna " ... more
