Friends of the Multnomah County Library has a great store on the first floor of Central. I love visiting bookstores. There are a few others not mentioned here but I don't know what their names are. I have yet to check out Paper Moon Books.
Ampersand on Alberta is a big miss on your list. Lovely photobooks, some that they publish and some from other publishers. Plus photography exhibitions.
I would add Ampersand on Alberta. It used to be 80% art books and 20% assorted gewgaws, but it has recently expanded and is about 95% Fancy Art Books You Can't Afford Especially Since You'll Thumb Through Them Like Two Times If You're Being Honest With Yourself.
This means it's a perfect store to buy books as a gift.
Don't forget Vintage Books in Vancouver. Sure, it's in a tucked away corner of a strip mall. BUT it's a pillar of our Vantucky community. They were indie before indie was indie (I think). Anyhow, they are big and beautiful and we sure love 'em. AND THEY HAVE 2 CATS!!!
6613 East Mill Plain Boulevard Vancouver, WA 98661 or http://www.vintage-books.com/. Please support them as we want them to stay around for many years to come.

Also, BOOK STORE CATS ARE THE BEST!
