PROFILE |
 |
Powell's may not be the big dog when it comes to books, but its dog-eared volumes keep it near the front of the pack. The book retailer maintains seven stores in the Portland, Oregon area, including its flagship City of Books store, which covers a city block and contains one million volumes. The company sells new, used, out-of-print, and rare books; it even sells books that are returned to online bookseller Amazon.com. The company operates specialty stores for cookbooks, technical books, and travel books and accessories; it also features author readings and book discussion groups and sells books online. President Michael Powell, whose father, Walter, opened City of Books in 1971, owns the company.
