Awesome curation of local Chicago area artists’ work, plus a great selection of dvds, vhs, books, etc. great vibe, fun location, well priced. They often have tables with different vendors (including tarot readings) outside when the weather is nice. Always some new to find a space oddities!

Very fun, quirky bookstore. I first went for their St Lucias Day Winter Party and really enjoyed meeting new people and checking out their art and books, I look forward to seeing what kinds of events theyll have in the future.

As someone who has rats coming into my house, I really was disappointed to see Feed The Rats art up. I guess it is funny to some people but believe me you will change your tune if they gain access to your apartment

My girlfriend and I went to this store on a wim looking for some horror themed merch as this store was listed as that on yelp. I understood that it was more of a witchcraft vibe once we got in and was even more excited because my girlfriend and I love that type of thing. The lady working there was very nice and knowledgeable on everything in the store and really seemed to love what she does which helped us find some Tarot decks that fit us well.

Pleasantly surprised. I went in thinking it was a bit chintzy, but their collection of books was definitely thoughtful. The guy working was friendly and down-to-Earth. Another reviewer said it better than I couldve: fun, but not overly ironic, cool but also real.

Eclectic is an overused word; instead of going that route, lets call Space Oddities a versatile and intriguing bookstore. Theres plenty of variety, but variety with a theme. Rather than a scattershot used bookstore with hit-or-miss materials, Space Oddities offers a well curated book selection in addition to contributions from local artists across different media. Wonderfully weird but never ostentatious.
