Barnswallow Books
Our independent bookstore’s shelves and tables are filled with an ever-changing selection of books chosen both for their immediacy and for their staying power.
You will not find a wall of best sellers at Barnswallow but you will find an array of critically applauded books in a wide variety of genres. Some of our perennial interests include literary fiction, ornithology, the natural world, Shakespeare, science (hard and soft) and mysteries-in-translation.
The Barn at Barnswallow is a classic Civil War-era timber frame barn perched above the craggy shores of picturesque Rockport Harbor.This welcoming structure is an extension of our book shop. Home to literary and musical events throughout the year, be sure to pop in and explore.
We love collaborating with local artists and makers.
