Nestled on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, off the shores of Massachusetts, Edgartown Books is a beloved independent bookstore and literary haven.
More Than Books
Where readers, leaders, and daydreamers can procure and browse an array of new books as well as thoughtful gifts for every occasion.
Open Year Round
While many businesses on Martha’s Vineyard are seasonal, we are a reliable hub for community, connection, and inspiration. Offering events too!
An Iconic Experience
Drop into our iconic Main Street location in the Historic District of Edgartown, MA for the ultimate old-fashioned bookstore experience.
Your creative connection to Martha’s Vineyard
Housed in a charming 1880 building on Main Street in the Historic District of Edgartown, the bookstore provides a gathering place for local bookworms, island visitors, and renowned authors alike. We proudly showcase Vineyard-based authors, offering everything from beachy page-turners to captivating mysteries and heartfelt stories.
In the summer, our charming porch transforms into a welcoming gathering place for book lovers, where visitors can meet acclaimed writers, enjoy author signings, and immerse themselves in the unique literary spirit of the island.
