Alienated Majesty Books

Alienated Majesty Books is a bookstore specializing in a curated collection of international small presses and translated literature. In 2024, the Austin Chronicle named us a critics pick for Best Obscure Literature Collection.

We love the DIY and international side of publishing, with half our stock focused on works in translation. Our booksellers give thoughtful, intentional recommendations from our stacks of literary fiction, indie comics, politics & theory, environments, and poetry.

From our literary screening series at AFS Cinema to our afterhours punk shows, we provide an inclusive gathering space for those who share in our love of the underground and underrepresented. Check out our upcoming events and our local partnerships.
