Everything was amusingly organized. All the featured newer books are upfront when you walk in. All the prices of the books are inside the book written in pencil on the first page. Not too pricey from what I saw. I spent a good $20 and was happy with my purchase and supporting small business. I was informed also of their trading policies for books and puzzles. Which I think is delightful. Cheers to more reading this year!

While I always love a small, independent bookstore, the location of this one was somewhat awkward,…read moreas it's tucked away in an old, neglected building, which at the time of my visit, was eerily empty. The bookstore space itself is not altogether unpleasant, and you can definitely tell that the owners are attempting to add more inventory and character. However, it's still a work in progress, and in the meantime, the selection is pretty limited and the organization and pricing a bit confusing. I was also disappointed to find that a book I ordered from the store (because they didn't have it in stock), was not available for pick-up at the time the store owner communicated it would be - and was actually on back order - leaving me in the lurch for a course assignment which required the book. Since I had to call them (versus them contacting me) to find out this information, my already conflicted feelings about the store were certainly not improved. Overall, I was a bit disappointed with my initial experiences with this bookstore, but I am still glad the option exists (and I'm hopeful it will improve with time). Pro-Tip: One really positive thing about this bookstore is that it sells new and used books, and you can actually trade-in your previously read books at this location for store credit!

My wife browsed the store while I bought the book and chatted with Terry. This is a great little shop. My wife and I love to support local businesses. We are so glad that there's a local bookstore we can now buy from instead of buying books off Amazon or bookstore chains like Barnes & Noble. From now on this is where we buy our books because we want to do our part to make this little bookshop a success so that we'll continue to have a local bookshop to buy from.

This place is in the heart of downtown Bremerton and is owned and operated by diverse bibliophiles who leave notes all around the shop shelves describing the books!

There are patches, buttons and stickers tucked all around in nooks and crannies with a wide variety of colors and messages. Also, they have toys, stationary, book accessories and even plants!

A sweet, attractive independent bookstore on a beautiful island, where you might meet a handsome stranger, a dastardly murderer, or even a handsome stranger who turns out to be a dastardly murderer. I spent a few hours on Bainbridge Island during a family trip to Seattle, and we enjoyed a leisurely browse at this bookstore. It was well stocked with books of every genre, as well as a strong selection of gifts and toys. My Seattle friend told me Eagle Harbor had carried my book, at least when it first came out, so I forgave them for no longer having it on the shelves six years later. I was very happy to see my friends Kara Loo and Jennifer Young's novel in the romance section. It's their first book, and I think it's a good sign that the store stocks new releases by debut writers. I really just love a good bookstore, and being in Eagle Harbor Book Company made me happy, even as my children demanded I buy them every colorful thing that entered their field of vision. I'd be a regular if I lived on the island. I could rent a space next door and start solving crimes.
