Atomic Books Blog

Due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, Atomic Books is not currently open to the public and won't be again through the end of March (when we will reassess the situation).

It is our intention to keep everyone at team Atomic employed, so we are at the shop from 11-5 daily for the duration.

And while we are closed to the public and browsing, you can order in-store/curbside pickup, you can have things shipped, and we're doing free local delivery within 2 miles of the store (just select In-Store Pickup and in the comments section write "Please deliver" - again, this only works for people within a 2 mile radius of the store and orders must be placed by 3PM for same day delivery).

Comics subscribers can also still pick up books between 11-5 daily.

We're still getting in new releases and shipments everyday at the shop.

Also, Eightbar sells to-go in case you need a local craft beer add-on (which we can also deliver).
