Eagle Harbor Books at 157 Winslow Way East is a wonderful local institution, offering a rich variety of new and used books, with special sections for the island's many reading groups and for local authors. Frequent readings are held here. You can buy the New York Times here, too--and at Safeway and Walt's in Lynnwood. Note that chains are rigidly excluded from most of Bainbridge except for the area around the intersection of the highway and High School Road. When you've got shopping urges that can't be satisfied on the island, you can head for the huge outlet complex at nearby Silverdale.
