Of course a place with so
many authors and
illustrators would have the most awesome bookstore. We were still staying in our lovely
undisclosed location when we first visited the
Montague Bookmill . . .
Set in an gristmill that was built in 1842, this amazing indie bookstore is on the banks of a river and located near Amherst . . .
After THE MOST DELICIOUS SALAD at
Lady Killgrew , which is part of the Montague Mill . . .
. . . it was time to explore . . .
Wait! Who's that reading to
Peepy? Why it's
Susan Shilliday, ex-pat from Los Angeles -- a screenwriter (Legends of the Fall, Thirtysomething, etc.) turned Montague Bookmill owner . . .
Here's more to admire . . .
Ah, what a glorious bookstore!!!
BTW, it was so great that on our last day in the area, we returned to look at books and eat the delish brown rice and veggie salad . . .
Brace yourself for a rocky transition . . . Whoa,
