Bookstores are a big part of our annual holiday shopping rounds, and my two most sketch-able favorites are Powell’s in Portland—
—and Elliott Bay in Seattle. Of course I’m probably going to love any indie bookstore, but both of these places have such inviting spaces that I could stay and sketch for a year. If I weren’t so distracted by all those zillions of books, that is…

Oh, yes! Wonderful sketches. I recognized each place immediately. I’ve been shopping at Powell’s even before we lived in the PNW! When we drove up from CA to visit, we’d go to Powell’s. It is SO dangerous.
When I lived in Michigan, I used to take trips to the original, independent, Borders Books in Ann Arbor…. before they became a chain.
