Coming up February 26th, Dog Eared Books couldn't be more thrilled to be apart of the first ever San Francisco Bookstore (and chocolate) Crawl. Run by local author/superstar Charlie Jane Anders, the crawl will start over in the Richmond district at Green Apple Books and make its way along all the way to Modern Times Books at 24th and Florida. Dog Eared loves being part of San Francisco's vibrant independent bookstore community, and we can't imagine a better way to celebrate it.

The story says we, along with City Lights and Modern Times bookstores, are the heart of the San Francisco. How nice of them to notice!

This amazing photo of the corner of Valencia and 20th is from 1920. You can see the store front now occupied by Dog Eared right there on the left. Kinda gives you the shivers to see such history, doesn't it.
