Great little bookstore. Nicely chosen inventory with good variety. Books were in great shape. A few prices struck me as high but it is, after all, Greater Boston! Owner was very nice and playing unique music. Will be back when in the neighborhood. Pop in and check it out and support a quality bookstore!

Feels like a treasure hunt in the best way! Unique, niche sections and books I hadn’t seen anywhere else, plus a great selection of vinyl. We had a great time exploring and chatting with the owner. Definitely worth a visit!

I can’t recommend this store enough. Barry takes great care of you as a customer and a friend every time you come in. There is always a new and unique selection of records to choose from so I can’t help but leave with my arms full every time. All of the records are in excellent condition, clean, and protected. As someone who works 6 days a week and works into the evening, the fact that Good Dog is open late on weekdays is awesome!Currently listening through my purchases from this weekend. Thanks a million Barry and see you soon!

Fun quirky collection of used books and records. There's a very interesting varied selection. I found some books to give as gifts and a coffee table book for me.

The owner is very passionate about his collection. I went for the first time and left with a few good finds. The next time I was alongside my father. He gave us a The Doors record on the house and a good discount on the rest of the albums we brought!

NO QUESTION. THIS IS SIMPLY THE BEST RECORD STORE - JUST OUTSIDE BOSTON. IT'S IN NEWTON CENTER - SO TAKE A QUICK DRIVE - OR HOP ON THE MBTA "D" LINE - FOR A QUICK TRIP TO NEWTON CENTER. SEARCHING THROUGH THEIR VINTAGE BOOKS & RECORDS - HAS NEVER BEEN SO MUCH FUN. AND IF YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS - OR WANT TO ORDER SOMETHING SPECIAL - JUST ASK BARRY - THE OWNER - WHO IS MORE THAN HELPFUL. DON'T MISS OUT ! ! !

That early obscure surf music is almost as great as the Chartreuse reference guide!
