Review of Hawthorne Books

I've been shopping Powell's for a few decades now. The downtown location is the big store, but they have lost some of the charm that also made it Powell's. Thus, Powell's Hawthorne is my preferred book browsing destination.

As a youth with little spending money, being able to find a good deal on a used/newer book was something I found joy in. Powell's Hawthorne seems to be a place to do so with more frequency. Also, as a smaller location, there seems to be special care taken for an interesting distillation of titles.
