You know that Dickensian vibe you get when you see an old bookshop in a movie And you wish there were still places like that around. Dogtown books is that It just is. Go there.

A beautiful bookstore filled with treasures. I could spend hours here looking through the antique books. The first time I went there I found one of the best books on herbalism that I have come across. The owner is friendly, and the books are reasonably priced. A gem, for sure.

It was much better when Bob Rtchie owned the store. I find this store lacking in rare and collectible books.There is nothing unique here or online. The fact that they have tshirts for sale tells you everything you need to know.

Fantastic store. I found ten more books in a older time life series I collect and the price point was very fair. All fairly priced books and well organized sections.

The owners of the bookstore are friendly and love to have conversations with their customers. They have a lot of hidden gems on their shelves, you just have to look for them. You can also request that you be notified if they get a specific book in stock. We love going in to Dogtown
