I'll get straight to the point: Powell's is vast and quite the Wonderland of books. It markets itself brilliantly as a place of rich tradition and character. With that said, on the whole they really are a conceited and snotty lot, and even outwardly cruel to customers if their hatefully egotistical mood turns sadistic for sheer amusement or whatever. They seem to regard many of their customers as dirty little vermin to be scowlingly "endured". I really don't like the place, and prefer to buy my books at one of the major chains like Borders or Barnes & Noble. Nope... I don't much like them at all.
Pros: Huge store, great atmosphere, lots of books.
Cons: Egotistical, cold and incredibly hateful staff.
