Welcome to Four-Eyed Frog Books!

A Community-Owned Bookstore

Four-Eyed Frog Books is a community-owned, independent bookstore located in the quaint Mendocino County coastal town of Gualala, in northern California. The Frog, as it’s affectionately referred to, is owned by nearly two dozen community shareholders, who jointly purchased their beloved bookstore in 2016 when the original owner moved out of the area.

What's Happening at the Frog

Response to Coronavirus

To do our part to stop the spread of the corona virus through our treasured community, we have temporarily closed the Four Eyed Frog and are no longer accepting orders by phone or email, nor offering curbside pickups or porch delivery.

You can still purchase our books and puzzles at the Surf Market in Gualala. You can also order any book you want from the Frog through our website which provides speedy postal delivery from our supplier directly to your home or post office box.

As you know, the Frog is a community bookstore and we are in need of community support, now more than ever. Under the current circumstances it’s difficult for us to meet basic ongoing expenses such as rent and insurance. You can help us get through this mandatory shut down by making a donation to the Frog. Simply click DONATE here or the Donate button on this page of our website. When the shutdown ends we want to be able to open our doors quickly to serve you and our community.

We're extremely grateful for the relationships we've established over the years. Thank you. We look forward to seeing you face-to-face in the near future. In the meantime, please follow the guidelines and stay healthy.

And, by all means order your books here on our website. We greatly appreciate your support!

- Spend $100 at a local-owned business and $68 of that stays in your community.

- More of your taxes are reinvested in your community--where they belong.
