Why are independent bookshops important - Portland, OR

This bookshop is huge! It is hard not to feel overwhelmed - where do you start??

Before I knew it this bookshop ended up becoming my base in downtown Portland. We were staying in an AirB&B in the Boise Area, on the outskirts of Portland for about a week, exactly a year ago (Feb 2018), having spent a few days in Seattle first. I had started writing a travel blog about what is round the corner from where you are - had become interested in finding out more about things of local interest when you are travelling and but also about what is round the corner from where you live when you are not travelling - usually things that are not mentioned so much in tourist literature.
