Welcome to the online home of Harpoon Books -- Nantucket Island's only used bookstore. Our online inventory includes new, used and out-of-print books on a variety of topics, but we specialize in books on Asia and those that reflect the rich history and nautical traditions of Nantucket. New and used books on Asia, the Pacific and topics related to Nantucket are also available at our retail store at 50 Main Street, Nantucket.
If after you search or browse through our online inventory you cannot find what you want, fill out our search form. We will search our substantial off-line inventory, other bookstores and book search services to find the book you seek. There is no extra charge for this service.
