The Taleless Dog Booksellers

About

The Taleless Dog is a locally owned, independent book seller.  Located in Berea, Kentucky, the store serves as the only bookstore in Madison and surrounding counties.   The store  opened June 4,  2022 in the 103-year-old Sunshine Ballard Cottage directly behind the Log House Craft Gallery (the oldest and longest running craft gallery in the state of Kentucky).   The space is intimate and quaint - just what you want in your neighborhood bookstore.  But don't let the size fool you.  We have thousands of adult, young adult and kids books.  We also have a great selection of gifts for the booklover in your life, and if we don't have what you want, we will gladly order it for you.  

The name....... everyone wants to know about the name.  Well, for months, we toiled with what to call the store.  We knew we wanted to use a play on words somehow, so we generated long lists of book-related homophones.  We kept landing on the word tale.  Then we both looked down at our dogs, neither of whom have a tail, and said at the same time - The Taleless Dog!   We love our dogs, and being able to incorporate them into this life journey made it all the more special.   And when we look back over the years, we realized that most of our dogs did not have tails (Schnauzers, Boxers, now an Aussie and Boston).  So, this felt right.  

Then in March of this year, a tail-less cat showed up on our doorstep.  We named her Nora, and she is now the official greeter at the bookstore.  If you visit, you will surely fall in love with Nora.  
Our goals are to offer outstanding customer service and to provide a local source for all your reading needs.  Our store is like a candy store for bibliophiles.   We can't wait to see you.  
If you want to stay in contact and stay on top of the newest book releases, then please subscribe to our email list below.  Newsletters are delivered to your inbox every Friday.  
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you soon!
