Portland’s little secret was Powell’s technical bookstore. It was rarely busy in there and all the latest text books you can find. In the days before resources were available online, I learned most of my math and sciences in that little bookstore after undergrad.

Stanford’s small engineering bookstore was something similar in Palo Alto. I’m not sure if it’s around anymore, it’s been 20 years since I visited after all. It was nice to browse a bunch of high end engineering and CS books. These days I just go for finding papers online.
