Thalassa Cruso's books and essays come to mind and she gardened in New
England.

Although most books of this kind are written in England for conditions
there (much milder than Massachusetts), those by Beth Chatto and
Penelope Hobhouse might be rewarding. As I recall, they don't deal much
with bulbs but concentrate on shrubs and perennials (i.e., mixed
borders).
Try Christopher Lloyd’s Flower Garden (not Garden Flowers; different book
altogether). Pictures showing combinations, with lots and lots of bulbs.
As a person with no color or design sense I find looking at pictures to be
more helpful than text describing these things.
