The people behind the shelves
A curious little bookshop.
Rare books, scientific history, and good company in Los Alamos, New Mexico.
Nerdy J’s / Los Alamos
History you can hold.
Nerdy J’s brings together scientific books, technical works, and historical artifacts. Our shelves reflect a particular interest in Los Alamos, the Manhattan Project, and the people behind scientific discovery.
We also repair, restore, and rebind books, helping preserve both their usefulness and the traces of their history.
Meet Barley, the Shoppe Dog
Our unofficial mascot brings a quieter kind of expertise to the bookshop: excellent company and a well-practiced appreciation for a good nap.
