hours | bookbuying | map & directions | address & phone numbers | order by phone | fup STORE DESCRIPTION Once just a small corner of the City of Books, Powell's Technical Books has grown into its own location, covering some 10,000 square feet of retail floor space. Located just two blocks to the east, it's within easy walking distance of Powell's flagship store, the City of Books. And if you need a break from book browsing, take a look at the store's collection of museum-quality collectible computers, including the Apple Macintosh (circa 1984) and the IMSAI 8080 (circa 1975!). Takes you back, doesn't it? Once the matriarch of Powell's Technical Books, Fup, the store cat, could be found greeting visitors and lounging on the shelves amidst electrical engineering and quantum physics tomes. Fup passed away in 2007 at the age of 19, but her legacy lives on in our biweekly newsletter column and in our hearts. We miss you, Fup. May you rest peacefully on the big bookshelf in the sky. (Read Assistant Manager Ron Silberstein's obituary for our furry friend.) On a sunny day, Portland's North Park Blocks, just outside the store's windows, offer a great place to take a walk, sit in the sun, pitch a game of horseshoes, or just soak up the ambiance of one of America's most beautiful cities. If you've already placed an order for a book via our website and would like to check on its status, please email the internet office at help@powells.com.
