Alienated Majesty Books

Great bookstore with many international authors not typically found in your larger bookstores. Wide variety and alternating titles every month I believe. Would definitely recommend if you want to look for new titles not on a list or social media.

This place is the perfect place for readers! It has an array of books from textbooks to fiction to poetry and novels. This is perfect for language learners that want to read in Spanish, Chinese, French, Japanese, and many others. Rare finds are abundant; that can be found with hours of curiosity. I could have blown my whole check at this place! The books are reasonably priced.

They have a beautiful collection that is truly curated from a place of care and thorough research. The zines and books offered here are so niche and hard to even discover especially since the cultural diversity of the books offered is so vast. You can tell the owner takes pride in their work and this is evident in every step you take within the store. The mini free library swap in the back is a beautiful way to create a safe space for everyone and allow everyone to leave with something regardless of their financial circumstances. Their intentional partnerships and events nourish the community. I recently attended the Austin Mutual Aid Franken-Zine release party and I appreciated Alienated Majestic Books so much for creating a safe space for important events snd discussions like these to occur. I would be so excited if a partnership or joined event ever occurred between Aliented Majestic Books and Monkeywrench Books. Everyone should come support Alienated Majestic Books even if that's just with your presence!

The best book store in Austin. Every city should be so lucky to have a place like this. From zines to books from Indy publishers on all sorts of topics this is the spot of all spots. It's also a great gathering place as they have shows and workshops and things. It just feels good in there.

I typically focus more on used bookstores, but Alienated Majesty is one of the few exceptions. An amazingly diverse and unique selection that will keep you entertained and educated for years. The staff are also so friendly and knowledgeable about their inventory, they'll comment positively on each of your picks. Plus, it's a great place to find out about some of the best local events.

Great independent bookstore focusing on lesser sold titles. It has fun displays and events, nice art to compliment the attractive book covers, and several cozy places to sit. Fortunately for UT students this place is in walking distance of the campus. It also has several restaurants and bars nearby. It shares a small parking lot with a couple other businesses.

This place is an indie bookstore that will make an average person question their reading comprehension abilities. It has books and zines I’d never imagine be written about topics I’ve never considered may have a book about it. It’s pretty cool. Would recommend, vibes immaculate. You’ll find books here that you’ll probably find no where else in the entire state of Texas. It seems to be a safe space for the weirdos, freaks and geeks of society. A place where those who don’t conform to societal norms can find a book about their niche way of non-conforming. They host cool events too.

a cool selection of books & the most welcoming space :)

Coolest bookstore in town. Love this place and they host live music in the evenings sometimes. This is just the kind of place we need in that special old part of town... the parking lot brought back good memories of the old Vulcan Video, Oat Willie's, Conan's pizza.... It was a fun adventure and you'll definitely find some very interesting books.
