Looking for a local bookstore with bookslinger recommendations, unique cards created by local…read moreartists and a plethora of stickers and patches? This is it! 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! However, you'll find more than books here in a place that has something for ALL ages. 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! You need to experience this place to understand the wonder of how lucky we are to have a shop like this in our own Bremerton

It was an unspecified amount of time as far as how long I have had No Dearth of Books in my list of…read moreGig Harbor businesses to try. We simply aren't over there too terribly often. But on our last trip there we were extremely close and so we decided to duck in and take a look around. It's kind of a small place but it's loaded with books and a nice selection. The section that especially attracted us was the cookbooks. The man minding the shop was very nice and congenial. This shop is nicely tucked away in downtown Gig Harbor and is totally worth taking a peek into to satisfy any book shopping needs you may have... in small businesses and independently owned style.

I came here with nothing in particular in mind, so I'd be open to any gems that came my way…read more The shop is small, so it doesn't feel overwhelming to come in and take a good look at most of their stock. Yet it is also quite full, so there is definitely enough there to choose from. Most of the books are on the older side so there aren't a ton of the trendiest new paperbacks here. I greatly prefer un-trendy old paperbacks, so this is great. The shop is owned by a very, very sweet and friendly couple who want to help you find books on your topics of choice. They are great to chat with and they also pointed me to other local businesses I've been trying to find, like boat rental. They informed me that they are friends with the proprietor of Mostly Books down the street. The other shop has all new books, so they've even worked out the proximity issue without having to be competitors. Totally fitting for a close-knit community like Gig Harbor. Next stop here will include both shops!!!

Cute place in Poulsbo! Was on the hunt for elephants here. Although I did not find any, I had a lot…read moreof fun searching and going through their great selection of items. Owner is very nice. Will come back again.

While this business has a new owner - and the inventory seems a bit more sparse - and perhaps…read moremoving in a slightly different direction, the person working in the store at the time of our visit was delightful. He introduced himself as the owner's brother and brought a lot of positive energy into the space. He was helping customers navigate some of the changes to the store, while also offering invitations to local events. We really enjoyed the communal feeling we got from our time perusing. We always enjoy visiting this shop when we're in the area, and we look forward to seeing how it grows and changes in the coming months, as the new owner fully realizes her vision. Pro-Tip: If you, like us, came here partly for the large soap inventory, you should know that these particular items are much more limited at this time. Pro-Tip 2: They have a great assortment of lighthearted romance novels in this store! Make sure to take 1 (or 3) home :)

Staff is pretty good at trying to find what you're looking for. Maybe the books I wanted were too new, but I wasn't able to find what I was looking for. Very quiet inside and no one bothers you, so it's a nice time to browse through everything. Books are pretty decently priced. Most of the children's books I've never paid more than $5. As for the adult books when I browsed through, I saw them going for $7+ which isn't terrible at all. The price is written in pencil on the first page if you're looking for it.

I especially loved the paperbacks outside that are sold on an honor system, which is so great to see - and impressively they were in order by author, which is super rare in paperbacks for sale in that manner.

As per the description they have used and new books here; they also have a lot of interesting and intriguing gift items, many Vashon related as you might imagine.

If I lived on Vashon I would surely be here all the time and wouldn't have any problem satisfying my book reading needs! Would shop here regularly. Staff is also friendly and courteous; the space is clean and inviting. Very welcoming for casual browsing or serious purchasing. Prices are reasonable and not much different than any other bookshop in the region.

Greatly appreciate their tradition of putting out a mailbox for Letters to Santa each year.
