Welcome to Samizdat Bookstore and Teahouse

Samizdat Bookstore and Teahouse opened in November 2021 as part of the Los Alamos Retail Accelerator Program, a free program run by the Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce and Los Alamos MainStreet that was meant to foster new retail business. We exist because of their willingness to take a risk on a new idea, and because of the enthusiastic support of the Los Alamos community. We are here because of every single one of you who shopped at the pop-ups and have continued to support us in our partnership with the Los Alamos STEAM Lab.

Samizdat is a bookstore for the people of Los Alamos, which means we are a little weird and eclectic and kind of disorganized and we can suddenly veer off into uncomfortable territory and often pick merchandise on a complete whim. 

But we hope to create a place that welcomes you, and we want to carry books that reflect your interests and enthusiasms and curiosities. Let us know how we can improve!
