Ah yes. Powell's. My wife spent an afternoon there during our USA trip in 2013 and only left because the store closed and we were heading south first thing next morning, so she couldn't go back. A carton of books from Powell's was awaiting our return to Qz several weeks later.... Where am I located? My sig tells all.
