Et cetera, et cetera . . .

You probably already know that Island Books has been serving readers on the island and off for almost forty years, but you may not realize that it's also the best place around for other kinds of gift-giving. We feature a wide selection of cards, toys, games, chocolates, and other exceedingly interesting and useful items.

Chocolates

We feature seasonal favorites and timeless classics from local confectioners such as Fran's, Theo's, and more.

Housewares

You'll find stylish table linens, aromatic candles, handmade soap, colorful teapots, and a host of other quality items to dress up your own home or to give as keepsakes for your friends and family.

Toys and games

Whether you're looking for a few minutes of fun or an intellectual challenge, we've got all ages covered, from newborns to great-grandparents. Chess, checkers, crosswords, traditional board games, the newest party games, plush toys, Lego sets, science kits--the list goes on. 

Travel gear

Of course we have travel guides to get you where you're going, but we also carry maps, bags, and other things to make your trip more enjoyable (and maybe more fashionable, too).

Reader's accessories

Bookmarks, journals, magnifiers, book lights, and other paraphernalia for you or the avid reader or writer in your life.

And more.

We're continually finding new treats to add to our shelves, so stop in around the holidays or any other time of year to see the latest additions.
