This is a very small town bookstore. They do seem to carry the best sellers, but they also carry lots of books from local authors. The staff are polite and the store is quaint. It is a great place to go to shop local not just for books, but also for cute socks, stickers and other cute odds and ends.

This is the best bookstore on the planet. I'm serious. I am so lucky to be alive at the same time as this place.

Any book store with a dog is a great bookstore! Lots of books and little gifts and several shelf talkers with staff pics and reviews. Can't wait to come back.

I love small, local bookstores and this one is perfect. A variety of books, ability to order more, and a cozy vibe.

I stopped in and fell in love with this store! It’s warm and welcoming, and the folks working there are immensely knowledgable. I walked out with one book but have a list of books I’ll be back for - so many thanks to the ladies who helped me find my next read!

Absolutely amazing pre-owned selection. Great prices on new books, some cheaper than Barnes & BAM. The staff was incredible. I heard one staff member explaining in depth her favorite books to other customers. She was giving great recommendations all around. The atmosphere was phenomenal and I could've spent the whole day here. I spent a little over $20 on four used books.

Attended a book signing, meet and greet event tonight. It was my first time visiting Dog-Eared Books and I am now a big fan. Amanda did a fantastic job with the book signing event and the book store is a great addition to the Ames community!

Vintage little cute bookstore. I love how they have dogeared recommendations under each of the popular shelf, a great way to built some special bond between readers.

My husband went into dog-eared books because I told him that I was going to be going there at some point in the near future to spend a gift card that my daughter got me for Mother's Day.He called my sister and asked my sister what kind of books I like to read and of course my sister told him that Colin Hoover was one of my absolute favorite books and he picked out two books and was so proud when he brought them home because he knew that I like them. Unfortunately it was two books that I had just most recently read and I went ahead and went back the next day and returned those books. Got credit for them and then proceeded to buy for new books with the money that he spent and the gift card for my daughter.They have a really good selection of books in there. They also have really cute magnets and bookmarks and pretty much anything that you would want from a bookstore and the staff was very polite and helpful.Definitely a must check out place!!

Wonderful store! The cashier cautioned me about the introduction of the book I purchased. She let me know the prologue has a different tone than the rest of the book. And that the book was lovely. What a great experience. PLUS the store has a sweet doggo. Visit Dog Eared Books and say hi to Lovey!

Dog Eared Books is my all time favorite book store. It may be my favorite place in the whole world, because the atmosphere is perfect. They are so amazingly welcoming and kind. They will talk about books with you, and you can tell they are really passionate about what they do. I love this place so much, they are my perfect dream bookstore, and I wish I could live there. The only word I could use to describe this place is AMAZING!

Very nice bookstore. Staff is helpful & friendly. We missed seeing the dog on our visit, but it was after dinner time. Located on the first floor and parking in the area is available. Very good selection of books, stickers, buttons, magnets, pens, and there is coffee and cookies as well. I would definitely go back to revisit this establishment.
