About

The finest little bookstore & gallery in Humboldt Park, Chicago.

Space Oddities is equal parts bookstore and gallery, featuring work by local artists and artisans. We host a carefully curated selection of paintings, framed drawings, archival prints, along with ceramics, sculpture, hand created jewelry, candles, tarot and oracle decks. Our new and used books span a broad variety of subjects, paying special mind to dystopian and otherworldly literature, poetry, art books, comics, esoteric tomes, how-to books, mythology, philosophy, pulp sci-fi, and speculative non-fiction, as well as general fiction. We stock a wide variety of incense, herbs, crystals, perfume oils, and other items of a natural and eclectic nature. We love carrying zines, ephemera, and notebooks. After hours, we host workshops, artist pop-ups, tarot readings, book release parties, salon evenings with performance art and poetry, all sorts of things. We’re pretty friendly. Come visit. We are open Monday, Wednesday – Friday from 12-7 pm & Saturday 11-7 pm & Sunday 11-6 pm.
