If you ever find yourself in western Massachusetts or southern Vermont, make some time for a detour to the Book Mill in the village of Montague, Massachusetts. It’s well worth the time to track down this beautiful little bookshop with the self-effacing slogan “books you don’t need in a place you can’t find”. Everything about that quote is inaccurate—the shop is packed with a well curated stock of secondhand and new titles and they are situated not that far from U.S Interstate 91. Best of all, the bookstore is in a bucolic setting by a river and housed in an early 19th century grist mill.
