Powell's Books Warehouse Sale
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Normally, Powell’s Books’ warehouse in the Northwest Industrial District is only for staff, but the store is opening it up to the public for the first time ever for a massive sale. The shopping event will feature 30,000 books at marked-down prices: $3 hardcovers, $2 paperbacks and $1 mass-market titles.
The flagship Powell’s City of Books on West Burnside Street famously occupies an entire city block and houses almost a million books. The warehouse holds an almost equal number of titles, and it is time to clean house.
“We constantly churn books through the store,” says Jeremy Solly, marketing director. “We get tons of new books in the spring and fall and we need to make room to bring them in.”
