Happy new year!
We know. It’s been a while.
Today, on our 20th birthday, we would like you all to know that we are not dead. You may have read that somewhere, or even passed by the shop and assumed it was empty. But, we assure you, we are not dead. In fact, we are preparing to launch a new chapter - a new life - in a new building, same island but in a new town. In the coming months we will rebuild the bookshop and will welcome customers once again this spring. We are sad to bid farewell to the village of Oia, the only home we’ve ever known. We wish we could have stayed with you longer. We are grateful to all the beautiful people who came into that shop there and made it brim with so much life. Now we look forward to sharing the pangs and triumphs as our new home sprouts up. Watch this space. We look forward to seeing you all again. It’ll be a different space, but the same ol’ bookshop; as always, there will be a few good books and a glass of raki waiting for you. To another 20 years!

OK Jackass. To whomever stole our famous, beloved, tongue-in-cheek ‘RENT-A-CAT’ sign by RIPPING IT OFF OUR WALL WHERE IT WAS SCREWED IN: bring it the f*ck back. Seriously. Or I will chop your f*cking hands off. We lost our actual cat this winter - don’t take our sign too. It was painted by our dear friend Danae when she was all of 8 years old. It’s a de facto mascot piece of the shop. It pulls in more customers than any marketing endeavor we’ve ever attempted. And also it’s f*cking OURS, not yours. And to the rest of you, loyal friends and family: I’m putting a reward out for any information that leads to the return of the sign or the apprehension of the culprit, dead or alive : 10 books of your choice and your name on our ceiling’s spiral commemorating the team of AB. Come on people. Make this right. Let’s turn our darkest moment into our finest hour. @ Atlantis Books, Oia.

Had to sail to Athens for a few days to plow through some unavoidable BS bureaucracy and, more pleasantly, some book scouting for spring. For the first time in memory the bookshop will be straight-up closed for a few days. We will be back up and running by the weekend I reckon. Sorry for the inconvenience. See you soon.

A Christmas wish to the skies from our side, and maybe from yours too: we have this book. We would like you to have it and gift it this holiday. Even at this late hour, if you want it, we will deliver it to your door in time for the morning of the holiday. And we are offering the book at an exceptionally festive price. True , first state , of printed in 1843. God bless us, every one. If you are at all interested please DM us and let’s get this gem on a sleigh to you. We’ll be mixing eggnog and refreshing our feed in the meantime! @ Atlantis Books, Oia.
