In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex

Our bookshop is located in the historic town library building of Southampton, Massachusetts. Southampton lies within the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts with a view of Pomeroy Mountain to the West and Mt. Tom to the North. It is situated between the artistic, vibrant communities of Easthampton and Northampton and the city of Westfield. We have a collection of over 40,000 books with many more waiting to be unboxed and squeezed onto our shelves. The large double-door front entrance will lead you to our main floor where we hold a wide range of fiction and non-fiction titles, as well as a good selection of scarce and rare editions. The original fireplace is surrounded by hardbacks and you can peer out the original nine-foot windows. Take the staircase to the basement and you will find our large children's section and many shelves full of paperbacks. Our physical address is 225 College Highway/Route 10.
