Welcome to The Dog Eared Book!!
We are an independent bookstore with a curated selection of new and used books. We also have a great selection of literary gifts for all ages.
What does a curated selection mean? It means we have a small store, so we only have room to stock the best of the best!
In addition to new books, we have over 5,000 used books in stock. We only carry used books in great condition and we have recent, popular titles for all ages and in all genres. Our welcoming store is set-up for effortless browsing with books arranged by category and alphabetically by author – so it’s easy to find exactly what you are looking for!
Love old, collectible or rare books? We have a section of those too! We focus on antiquarian history, classics, classic children’s, and leather-bound.
Need help deciding what to choose? We have a staff picks area with favorite books and we love to talk about books! Tell us what you like to read and we will happily help choose your next book – whether for an adult or a child.
Important Announcement!
After proudly serving the Palmyra and greater Rochester community for over 11 years, it is time for us to turn the page and move on to our next adventure. The Dog Eared Book will be relocating to Edenton, North Carolina. The building we currently live and work in will be offered for sale. This has been one of the hardest decisions we have ever made but it is the right one for our family. I don’t think I will ever have the words to express how deeply grateful I am to everyone who has supported us through the years. Without you this bookselling dream could never have happened. You have cheered us on every step of the way – by shopping with us, recommending us, and turning out in droves for every event.
I can’t begin to tell you how much I will miss this community – so many of our customers have become dear friends. I hope you will consider continuing to support us from afar – I promise I know how to ship books!
I also wouldn’t rule out the occasional back in NY pop-up event. I will continue doing the things you love – posting book reviews and documenting our new beginning.
Closing date details to come. We anticipate being here through the end of July and it will be business as usual until then. For those of you who champion us from afar – I look forward to sending more book mail your way!
Palmyra, NY – I will always love you.
