Powell's Books Contest!

Powell's Books--the Portland institution, purveyor of quality used (and new) books and my favorite bookstore on the planet--is celebrating the 15th Anniversary of Powells.com with a 15-day contest. Along with daily prizes, the grand prize is $1,500 to spend at powells.com. Can you imagine?! It could take years to spend that much! Oh, I've already started making my list, though...click here to enter the contest: click

Don't forget to go back and enter every day between now and October 30th. You'll have a shot at the daily prizes (gift cards, books, Powell's merchandise, etc.) and each time you enter the daily contest, you'll be entered into the grand prize drawing.

...and, if you've got some time, take a look around the site. They've got some great newsletters you can receive, the ongoing saga of "Fup. Store Cat.", their book reviews are top notch, and we can't forget all the renowned authors that stop by as guest bloggers. It's so much more than just a bookstore, but a celebration of all things nerdy and word-related. If every town (or even state) had a store like this, we'd be a nation of bookworms!
