Recently, I browsed throughout Lucky Dog on several occasions and different times of day to get the full experience of the place. This multi-level warehouse feels homely rather than cavernous while offering a diverse selection of books. In addition, they have vinyls, cassettes, VHS tapes, DVDs, vintage yearbooks, and more, all neatly displayed. The coffee aroma wafted down from the second level to greet me at the door before I mingled with the smell of pages being turned. Surprisingly, there was minimal dust on the shelves or the books themselves, something I would not have expected in such a large bookstore. The layout of the book cases themselves beckoned for browsers, although the small signs indicating each section seemed to deserve more effort. Even though I visited three times before finally making a purchase, each employee I talked to was friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable and explained on their web page, which is up-to date and as helpful as the employees. As I was paying I learned that they also take in books for store credit, accept canned food donations, accept pet food donations for the shelter, and hold several events every week. I also discovered that they are no longer open on Mondays, which was disappointing because it is one of the few places around which was open 7 days a week. Support a local business by picking up a used book at Lucky Dog in Bishop Arts District, or join their mailing list to receive emails about events.

Tried to go in and support my lcoal small book store, and was stopped at the door by the old drunk guy with a white beard. He said they were getting ready to close at 9 pm. It was 8:50 when I was walking in, only because there were two people sitting on the couches and others still walking around the store. I asked him do you have a dictionary, I could buy he replied by saying they were getting ready to close. Wow, how rude!! Refused a sale!!! First and Last time, I will go there!!! Good thing, I left my box of books to donate in the car!!

Always welcoming. Wide selection of books, music, audiobooks, etc. Allowed us to use space to hold meet-ups at their previous location. With our youth reading less and less, it is important that there is community support of establishments like Lucky Dogs.

I want to love this bookstore, I really do. Yet, every time I visit I never find anything to read and the staff is too busy doing the High Fidelity version of a bookstore, hipstering out loudly, to ask if want or need help.

Best used book store. Dont support the big used book companies, help the smaller independent ones. The new location is great. Go see a classic movie at the Texas theater and then go shop for some books.

Great place lots of good selections thought the employees could have been a little more friendly and smile and help customers find things a little better besides that it was a good experience

This is the go-to local book store in Oak Cliff. They have a decent selection of photo books (I found two Magnum photographer books and one of Afghanistan coverage). Support your local shops!!
