About Dog Eared Books
A small shop with a lot of books
Independent, family run and firmly part of Stockbridge. Two floors on Raeburn Place, and a cat who thinks it is one floor with a good staircase.
Downstairs
New books on the ground floor
The ground floor is our new books. Fiction and non fiction, poetry, cookery, childrens picture books and the local Scottish shelf that people come back for.
If we do not have a title, ask. We can order in almost anything and it usually lands within a few days.
Upstairs
Secondhand and rare above
Up the stairs is the quiet part. Secondhand books at fair prices, and a rare and collectable corner for first editions and old bindings.
Stock changes all the time, so it is never the same shop twice. If you collect something in particular, tell us and we will keep an eye out.
Chekhov runs the shop. We just work here. He will pick a lap, judge your reading choices, and see you out at closing.
