About The Dogear

The Dogear is a world map of books — novels pinned to the real-world places where their stories are set. Browse the map, open a city to see which books are set there, or open a book to find its locations and where to buy it.

How the data works

Every book-to-place link is structured data — a place, its coordinates, and a short label — sourced from open, freely-licensed datasets (Open Library and Wikidata, both CC0) and reviewed by a person before it appears. We deliberately do not publish machine-written summaries or reviews. Where you see a description, it was written by a person or drawn from Open Library's public-domain (CC0) text; where we have neither, we show a link to the book rather than filler.

Supporting books & bookshops

Book links point to Bookshop.org, which supports independent bookshops, with Open Library as a fallback. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
