User Reviews of Atomic Books

Yelp.com Review - by Brendan M.

5.0 of 5 stars. Excellent selection, hip friendly staff, the apotheoses of Baltimore in store form. I hit Atomic Books as often as I can for my book (comic or otherwise) needs.

Yelp.com Review - by Evamarie S.

5.0 of 5 stars. I lived 3 blocks from Atomic Books in Hampden for a year and got in the habit of stopping in to pick up neat stationary and zines. Now that I live farther away I still try to go back now and then --...

Yelp.com Review - by Mark H.

4.0 of 5 stars. This is an awesome place to visit in Baltimore - a 'zine shop that carries a wide variety of self-published and small-publisher books and magazines. It's similar to Paco Nathan's late great Fringeware...

Yelp.com Review - by Charlotte B.

5.0 of 5 stars. Please patronize them early and often, because should this fine and quirky store go out of business Baltimore's only other "independent bookstore" would be "Greetings and Readings". 'Nuff said.

Books and Gifts

This is a fabulous independent bookstore filled with graphic novels, comics and unique gifts. This is one of John Water's favorite Baltimore spots.. check out his annual Christmas cards hanging on the wall.

Yelp.com Review - by Thea C.

4.0 of 5 stars. All the five stars go to one thing and one thing alone: That framed Christmas card John Waters sent out with a picture of Steve Buscemi made-up and dressed as John Waters. One less star because they...

Yelp.com Review - by John S.

5.0 of 5 stars. This is my own personal bat cave, where I can let my inner geek revel in comic books (er, graphic novels, thank you), alternative and indie literature and other fleeting pursuits. Located in the...

Yelp.com Review - by Marion P.

5.0 of 5 stars. This place is wonderful. I could spend hours in here just browsing through all of their books and comics, their zines and cards and fun knickknack and the small but juicy music and dvd selection. They...

Yelp.com Review - by Carrie P.

3.0 of 5 stars. I mean, I can hardly complain about a bookstore, right? But their selection is very limited--think conforming non-conformists--and that gets old fast. I mean, sure, it's fine; any bookstore is fine,...

Yelp.com Review - by Katie M.

5.0 of 5 stars. I love this shop. I have made a conscious effort in the past few years to start getting more books from the library instead of buying them for space and financial reasons, but I have never left Atomic...

Yelp.com Review - by Susan T.

3.0 of 5 stars. This is a great bookstore...I heart the Christmas cards from John Waters they have displayed. They have taken a lot of their comics and graphic novels and stuff to a second storefront down the...

5.0 of 5 stars. It's always great dropping by on a quirky bookstore in any city. I knew I had to visit when John Waters mentioned that this is one of his favorite establishments. The place doesn't disappoint....

Yelp.com Review - by debilitatingly f.

5.0 of 5 stars. I was in Hampden near Atomic Books tutoring some kid intent on spending her 18th birthday in middle school; She was complaining/explaining that the only reason she couldn't read aloud was because she...

If you love books, check out Atomic Books by Debra A. at InsiderPages
