Print: A Bookstore
Experience:
Just a few quick hops off the main drag in Portland, is an unsuspecting MASSIVE bookstore. Print: A Bookstore is a well curated and tremendous shop that provides something that bookshops often lack: space to browse! We were in awe of the many side areas and centrally located displays that supplied ample opportunities to not feel rushed or in immediate need of stepping aside for others to pass through. The employees were incredibly kind and it was fun following their conversations as I moved about the store - with topics of pop culture and many recommendations for books.
Favorite Aspect:
Something I haven’t seen in any shop is book tags that included book club information at local venues (see first photo below.) I thought that was a great tie in with the local community and helped readers find a starting place to get involved with some latest literature for conversation. All of the sections were clearly laid out and it was an honest joy to spend time in this shop! Check it out!
