The Old Oregon Bookstore
This next post, is, granted, a far cry from acoustical versions of gangsta rap and interviews with hot models but I thought some of our friends up in the Pacific Northwest might want to know about a nice little find.
There is a little book store, The Old Oregon Bookstore. I mean little, were talking about one medium sized room tucked away on the fourth floor of the Fine Arts building in downtown Portland. But don’t be decieved by its size. TOOBS has a ton of books on a wide range of topics, it has cookbooks, magazines etc… to go along with a great selection of regular books. With a very knowledgable store keeper and a large backroom of books your sure to find something you want.
I’m sure that sounded like an advertisement, haha. Really though in all honesty it is a nice break from the warehouse type stores like Powell’s (as much as we all love them) to have a cute little store liek TOOBS. So if your in Portland of the surrounding areas and you have a little time on your hands go check it out.
The hours are limited but Saturday afternoon is a sure bet. You may want to call ahead so if you are interested leave a comment and I can email you the phone number. For privacy reasons the store asked me not to post it here.

Hi there,
My best friend happened upon this amazing place very recently and now I’d love to visit it as well. Could you please email me the phone number? Do you happen to know the proprietor’s name?
Thank you so much,
Lee B. Bostwick
