Yelp.com Review - by Elisa D.

5.0 of 5 stars. Always the last stop in my bookstore trifecta (Powell's and Countermedia are the other two stops), I'm always impressed with your clean simplicity.

Yelp.com Review - by Katy D.

4.0 of 5 stars. I love Reading Frenzy for its prints, cards and buttons maybe even more than for its books, magazines and zines! Let's begin with the prints. Want a head shot illustration of Abe Lincoln? It's...

Great store! by becca o. at InsiderPages

I love Reading Frenzy! You can find any sort of zine here, and they also carry a lot of independently published books. They also host readings with really interesting folks! This store is a perfect compliment...

Yelp.com Review - by Chloe E.

4.0 of 5 stars. First things first, I have to admit that I am the founder and owner of this shop, but to be fair I only gave it 4 stars because it could always be better and I'm not satisfied with anything I do! So,...

5.0 of 5 stars. Reading Frenzy is a lovely little bookshop with zines, children's books, magazines and independent press. They regularly host author's readings and sport local artists on their walls. Run, at least...

4.0 of 5 stars. If you are looking for a unique present that typifies Portland, come here and buy a zine. While they might not all be made here, where else can you find a whole store devoted to these wonderful little...

Yelp.com Review - by Jacob G.

4.0 of 5 stars. I like the idea of a store for nothing but indie publishing. It's just that I could never find anything worth buying after reading. However, I like the idea a lot.

5.0 of 5 stars. Reading Frenzy is a tiny store with a big heart and a medium sized selection. It's also a great place for the occasional reading--Dave Egger's new book What is the What premiered here, not at Powell's...

Quirky 'zines, comics and books with indie flair

Reading Frenzy is kind of like your friendly neighborhood newsstand -- without the Vogue, Good Housekeeping, Newsweek or Guns & Ammo. Instead, Reading Frenzy offers a fun, funky and quirky assortment of indie...

Best place in Portland to find a zine! by Tracy P. at InsiderPages

Looking to buy zines? You could go to Powell's and find about ten zines, only about one or two of which are by Portland authors. Or you could go to Reading Frenzy and find a whole shelf of them! If you're a...

Independent Press Emporium by Andrew B. at InsiderPages

Reading Frenzy is not the place to buy bestsellers, most hardback or trade fiction, or popular magazines. What this place does--sell indie books, magazines, and comics--it does well. Want Burn Collector #13?...
