DOG EARED VALENCIA

Our store at 900 Valencia St. is now admitting 8 people inside at a time! We ask that customers sanitize their hands on entry (or wear gloves), stay masked (covering both mouth AND nose) and maintain six feet of distance from staff and other customers. Safety first!

If you’d prefer not to come inside, you can still place orders for mail or local delivery using our online order form.

Thank You for your support!!

Both Dog Eared display paintings from many terrific local artists. Many of them are for sale, which I guess makes us galleries as well as bookstores.

Tom Ammiano is a San Francisco legend. The city’s first openly gay teacher, mentored by Harvey Milk, Tom served as a San Francisco School Board President, President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and a Member of the State Assembly. He also is a noted comedian and now an author. Kiss My Gay Ass! is Tom’s memoir of his time in politics, stand-up comedy and as a resident of San Francisco. David Talbot, author of Season of the Witch, writes “If you need, as I surely often do, a reminder about why democracy is worth the struggle – despite all of the heartbreak and absurdity – you need to read Kiss My Gay Ass.” Dog Eared Books is proud to carry Kiss My Gay Ass!
