Dog·Eared Books is about more than dogs. We chose the name for a simple reason: books are meant to be loved. Books with dog-eared pages and writing in the margins are well-loved. We hope the new books you find here will be among your most loved. #indiebookstore #booklove

Zooey says “Rodham” was a delicious literary treat, an impressive read for a young pup to break her teeth on (literally). From the perspective of a fictionalized HRC, this novel depicts an alternate course for her life - one in which she doesn't marry Bill Clinton.

Check out this @AmesTribNews article about Dog·Eared Books. We think reporter, Ronna Faaborg, did a beautiful and accurate job of representing our vision for the store.https://t.co/gPA3viPZsn #indiebookshop #shoplocal #goodnews

Make the switch to https://t.co/3ndg009Xkp -- same program as Audible but your dollars go to work supporting independent bookstores. Lovie promises to give you a kiss if you switch.

What are we excited about right now? The newest release from Tana French, out this week and available through our online Bookshop. At D·E, we think French not only writes addictive mystery/thrillers but also writes compelling and honest characters. #indiebookstore #thesearcher
