Dog-Eared Books (NC)

Looking for a cozy local bookstore that won’t break the bank? Dog-Eared Books is the perfect spot! They have an amazing variety of books including young adult, children’s, romance, and so much more. When I visited, they were even working on expanding and adding more sections which makes me even more excited to come back and see what is new. The staff was absolutely amazing and so friendly, which made the experience even better. This is the kind of bookstore you can spend hours in, discovering hidden gems and falling back in love with reading. Affordable prices, a great selection, and a warm, welcoming vibe make this a must-visit local shop.

From children’s books to journals and murder mysteries - they have a little bit of everything! All books are just $2 with a select few early chapter readers being only $1. It’s well worth a trip if you’re looking to add to your never ending TBR list. Currently only open on the weekends I’m hopeful they can one day expand to more hours and a more ideal location. Currently they are located on the back side of a building between loading docks - but despite the location the inside is organized and homey. Sporting a corner room for children’s books, main shelves are displayed by genre and general fiction books organized by author last names. I bought a book filled with books for less than $40! And even if they don’t have something you’re looking for (it is a used book store after all) you can leave you’re information to be contacted at a later date if the book you want happens upon them. Only thing of a negative beware note - because they’re located between loading docks and not technically in a retail spot the building owner isn’t required to make to ADA accessible for shoppers. So the only entrance is by stairs.

Wonderful, welcoming used bookstore. Fantastic children’s book selection and a wide variety of fiction and no fiction. Loved the seasonal Holiday selection too.

The books are organized by author's last name, but within a letter, they're not organized alphabetically! So if you're looking for a particular book or author you have to read the spine of every book within that letter. It's about half and half fiction and non with a decent sized kids section. The store is a pretty good size but but I think they need more books. They'll probably will get them as time goes on and fill up the shelves. There's one shelf of classic books and I thought it was interesting there was one shelf for books to decorate with.
