This bookstore is my very favorite bookstore, period. It has a fabulous collection of serious fiction and poetry, and supports local poets and poetry lovers. Charlie the dog is wonderful as is Karin, who owns Looking Glass. This store deserves more attention than it gets in the Portland area. It is housed in an old caboose and has a lovely little garden/courtyard in back. All Portlanders - even those of us who drive a long way to get to Looking Glass - should come, visit and buy a worthy book. You won't be unhappy that you did!
