Great used and rare book store. Will most definitely be back. And they have a nice deal for having a curated selection sent to you. Definitely check them out.

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

Stopped here on our way through town and are glad we did! Awesome books through the whole store, and friendly owners. If you take the time to dig, you can find some real awesome books in here.

At first I googled trying to find the 1949 cookbook my grandmother had. I found a range of prices some as high as $125. Since I prefer to do business with small mom and pop shops, like Dogtown, I decided to give them a try. It was listed online for $40 and I wasn't even sure they would still have it. I called Bob and he was very pleasant and said given the age the book is in great condition, I even explained the story behind the book. My grandmother had passed many years ago, leaving me a water jug of pennies that have broken more storage containers over the years, but I never wanted to spend them. While at my Dad's he had this cookbook out and as I was about to ask him for it said my sister already asked, so off to Google I went! And what better way to spend the pennies!! I ordered the book the day before a holiday, but still had it in my hands within 6 days and the books condition far exceeded my expectations - aside from some yellowing of the pages, it is like new! I plan to add my grandmother and father's notes to it and will pass it along to my children. One day I will make the trip to the physical location as I love old book stores! Thank you again for helping to bring a bit of my grandmother home with me.
