Pilgrim Book Sellers

Pilgrim Book Sellers has welcomed readers to Plymouth since 1983, offering a selection that honors the town's deep colonial roots while embracing the full breadth of contemporary publishing. The store's colonial and early American history section is a serious resource, stocked with scholarly works, popular histories, and a small collection of rare 18th- and 19th-century volumes kept behind glass. Maritime literature fills an entire alcove near the front, from Melville and Dana to modern sailing memoirs, reflecting Plymouth's enduring connection to the sea. The children's section is a favorite among visiting families, with historically themed picture books and activity kits that make the town's heritage come alive for young minds. A thoughtfully chosen cookbook section rounds out the store's character, featuring New England recipes, seafood guides, and titles from local chefs who draw inspiration from the region's culinary traditions.
