The Back Story
Although they're not often considered literary masterpieces, romance novels are nonetheless adored by those looking for a little more love in their lives. Beautiful women, hunky guys with rippling muscles and flowing hair, someone threatening their love...somehow it never gets old. We eagerly turn the page--our own hearts beating in our chests.
Powell's Books (www.powells.com) is a book store many bibliophiles plan to pilgrimage to at least once in their lives. Started in 1971, Powell's sells new and used, hardcover and paperback, all together on the same shelf. Their website is one of the most successful book dot-coms in the world. Based in our hometown of Portland, OR, there are currently five stores in the metro area.
We re-write the book when it comes to giving ornaments (or when it comes to giving gifts).
