In Y2K, the ancient wisdom of the legendary Meow Tzu was collected by Michael Kent in "Meow Te Ching" (Gramercy Books 2001), recently arrived here at Bonnett's.

I could've shown off our Eric Stanton fetish art books, Hemingway editions from the '40s, a horror coloring-book (you'll need a lot of red crayons), or any number of other neat things – but, it's Caturday. Enjoy!

OtD 1966, Star Trek premiered on U.S. TV. I saw some in 1st run on a small b&w. I've been a fan since. In March '23: my 1st phaser! I used a shot of the bridge for this FPS-type pic. 2 wks ago I got a Lucille Ball Barbie™ to honor her contribution in Trek's existence. 2 days ago I reunited with my '80s library, >50% Trek!
Happy 57th, Star Trek! 🥂

Thankfully, my wife's beautiful garden has provided some great filler this year, to help make up for my forgetfulness with fresh book photos. I hope I'm doing them justice for your #BloomScrolling enjoyment.

Tue 9/5/23 Open 6-9p. Closed 9/6. Back to normal Thu–Sat, 9/7–9/9. No open containers, please.

All the books I post are available in-store when I share them. Rarely, I'll discuss something not here and I'll mention the fact.

These 4 books & our official t-shirt (top left) are here now! I have plenty of shirts (Sm-3XL) but, many books may not turn up again!

If you're near & see a book here, get it while the gettin's good – plus, similar items I haven't shared. Stop & see!

Moth selfie accidentally becomes "Land of the Giants" promo. Or, maybe, I outgrew and captured Mothra?

This photo is at least a week old. But, I'm back in the shop tonight.

8/22/23 — It looks like I'll be out of the shop again today. As before, I hope to be back in the stacks on the morrow. Enjoy this silhouetted sunflower – a backward way of sharing something that could've been simple and beautiful.

No book photos, again. Stop in, or take a stroll back through our feed to see what you may find on our shelves. Meanwhile, here's a handsome young sunflower - accidentally grown from bird-feed.

This was to be a Wildlife or Witty Wednesday post but life got in the way. So, now it's Thankful Thursday, I guess.

It's Titillation Tuesday and Summer's almost over. Hit the beach with the babes and boys of Baywatch in this poster-iffic vintage collectible! This show had something for just about everyone. And, if you're passing through town, you should stop in and see the really sexy vintage stuff I don't share online!

8/15/23 Open 6-9p. No open containers, please.

In the archaeological digs that are my storage rooms, I found two treasures! These additional adventures of the fedora-wearing, gun-toting, Nazi-punching Professor with a whip were penned by Rob MacGregor and would be lovely additions to any Indiana Jones collection.

Are you ready to chill for the weekend? Got your tunes in order. Your ear-holes deserve better than "programming" from a corporate A.I. If you can't make your own playlist,
try Rev. Cool's "Around the Fringe" Friday nights from 8-10p ET on WYSO.org.

8/11/23 — Open 6-10p. No open containers, please.

I put this image on X/Twitter to convince my remaining followers there to try federated socials.

84 years a #MomAndPop #FamilyOwned #IndependentBusiness, a #LowKey #DaytonOhio icon, the #WorldsOldestComicShop, in the same #BrickAndMortar location since #1939, and...

After 14 years on the bird site, 6,200+ posts, 1,500+ followers, only 3 likes and zero shares.

Only 4 months on mastodonbooks.net, under 400 posts, less than 200 followers, same post has 12 likes & 11 shares.

I forgot book photos again. I often save interesting features from my book pics. I've created this filler image from patterns found on 2 old paperbacks. Consider it a peek at the ever shifting landscape inside a bookseller's brain. Enjoy, if it doesn't cause eyestrain.

@phillip Yup, same here - still rockin' a #samsung #galaxy9 #4GLTE and a #psp3 on #dsl #wifi , driving around in a 23 yr old #honda #crv , without #facebook , #twitter , #instagram , #ai, #5g , a #prime account or even a #brickandmortar office since 2016 - and, as the song says - 🎶 I feel fine.

I have difficulty keeping any editions of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. books in stock, but have recently acquired two collections, including these '70s Dells. If you're looking, now's the time to stop in!

Gahan Wilson was a prolific cartoonist/illustrator with a very dark sense of humor. His style didn't easily lend itself to commercial advertising but I know I was surprised once, seeing his art in an ad. He's most well-known from his panel cartoons in Playboy & other major publications.

Funny thing... In a previous post from our wrecked shed was a box labeled "Good old sci-fi." I have yet to reach that box, and yet, the loose books from the last few posts are AMAZING! I can't wait to see what's in that box.
