Actually, Bell's History of Exeter contains a "genealogical" section at the end of the book, which is comprised of all of the vital records from Exeter (births, marriages, deaths, family records) that Bell was able to find. Bell also includes a great deal of information in the book that can be utilized for genealogical research. For example, he lists land grant information. This information, when coupled with Rockingham County deeds and wills, can clarify some Exeter family lines. Furthermore, the book is just an excellent and entertaining history of the town, and recounts numerous interesting events that might involve your ancestors. I agree with George Sanborn that Higginson's Books is a good place to look. They have a website. You might also want to try bibliofind.com, which allows you to search a great number of second hand book seller's sites to find a particular book (including Higginson's). I have used it to acquire some out of print gems. --Greg Gilman
