Portland has perhaps some of the best Goodwills in the western states. I speak as a book seller who buys thousands of dollars of Goodwill books all over the west every year. The books are almost always in great shape, well laid out and clean. The clerks are usually very helpful and polite and they are pretty quick to get my 2-3 shopping carts sorted out and charged.
HOWEVER, the prices are getting ridiculously high and I am not buying nearly as many books there as I used to. I'm shopping for places where I can get books for less money of equal quality and I think I've found a few (trade secret) SO I won't be shopping at Goodwill nearly as often or spending nearly as much. I think I reflect the opinion of many dealers (some of Goodwill's best book customers) as well as general population customers when I say that they need to reassess their prices for books!
