Found this cool little bookstore with a very nice selection on old and new books. I'm a fantasy book reader and the selection was great.

Picked up a stack of 15 at $2 a piece Had the old bookstore vibe that I just love. Could have spent 3-4 hours there but the rest of my group was ready after 30 minutes

It was really cool place. There were a variety of Price points, other media and cute items. There are a variety of new and used books available. They've taken the time to create clear sections with a nice variety. There are even some chairs to kick back in. Just make sure the kitty isn't there first! My husband and I looked around and end up buying five or six books all used in fabulous condition. Inside, there are some seats so you can kinda take a moment to review your book. The service was nicely balanced. We were warmly greeted and because we were in there for a while, asked if there's anything we needed help with for questions on, but mostly left alone to browse. Did I mention kitty cat there? Very chill and gorgeous and friendly. I am very glad we stopped by

Great knowledgeable bookstore clerk, I walked in and asked for what book I was looking for, albeit…read morethey didn't have it. But she took me straight to the section where it would be. 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!

Easton's Books is the quintessential used bookstore tucked away in an older building with towering…read morebookcases stacked full of various books. Each book section is clearly marked and no book section is small. Often topics will creep into the other areas. Being a used bookstore their stock is understandably inconsistent. Some books are rare little gemstones, one of a kind treasures. Others are fascinating because there are duplicates of random tomes, like yacht types from the 1980's, that made me wonder how they had more than one at all. The store feels old. A used bookstore, I suppose, should feel old. I enjoyed walking through the aisles looking up at all the various titles. The employees stayed by the front desk - a couple older men who were exchanging stories of tulip festivals long since past. While they didn't engage people walking through they always turned their full attention to any customer who needed their help. It is a fascinating store!

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.
