Eagle Trading Company Sells Old, Rare, Out-of-Print Cookbooks in Assonet, Mass.
If you love unique independently-owned book stores, here's one of the best kept secrets in New England: Eagle Trading Company, a small bookshop that sells cookbooks in the Assonet neighborhood of Freetown, Mass. Chuck, the gracious owner of Eagle Trading Company, possesses an amazing selection of old, rare and out-of-print cookbooks. His store is open on Mondays and Tuesdays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., so you'll have to make a phone appointment at (508) 644-9880 if looking to visit any other time of the week. Still, I would call even before embarking on a Monday or Tuesday trip just to make sure the book store is open. Eagle Trading Company is located at 4 Elm St., Unit 1, in Assonet MA about 10 minutes outside Fall River on the Southcoast. Editor's note: do you have a best kept New England travel secret?
