7/6/24 — Open 5-9p Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.

A recent addition to our TTRPG selection is this like-new 2017 Mouse Guard roleplaying game, 2nd edition rulebook. Also, if the '80s-vintage Marvel Super-Heroes RPG is your jam, I've got a handful of game supplements, some never-opened!

Not a gamer? Stop and explore. There's much more in-store!

bonnettsbooks 7/3/24 - Open 7-9p, maybe later. Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.

Open tonight, closed tomorrow, back to normal on Friday. Hope to see you soon!

Independence from monarchy is the reason for the season. Independence means taking responsibility for the system. 'We the People' are part of the system. Our job is to Vote!

Happy Independence Day, U.S.A!

By request, a little flashback to a 1966 newspaper article about the shop. This story mentions Dad (Walter Bonnett) too, so – early Happy Father's Day!

We've got great Father's Day Gift ideas on hand for all types of Dads!

Happy #WhiskerWednesday (I forgot book photos again). This is Traveler, who's never really gone anywhere. She's annoyed with my phone.

I thought about a #WesternsWednesday using leftovers from yesterday. If you're interested, check out the stream to see them & the other kinds of books you might find in s stop at #BonnettsBooks!

I forgot book pics, so here's a treat... A full moon overlayed on the total eclipse. All images are my own. Enjoy!

Working on really cool old LIFE magazines. This photo hit home today, 62 years after it's publication. Our shop was already about 23 years old when this magazine was new.

2023.12.12 — Open 6-9p. Mask recommended. No open containers, please.

Today, a view of our "newer" books table. Acquiring recent titles is more challenging all the time. These go back a few years, which is great if you missed them hot off the press. We're keeping them warm for you. 😉

I was planning to stay away from comics for a bit, but... this Strange Tales 126 accidentally got 2 covers when made. Note the ripped upper left corner. That's only the outside cover! The inside cover is just dandy. Stop in to see it and more! Also, this issue contains the first appearances of Dormammu and Clea!

8/1/23 Open 6-9p. No open containers, please.

It's H. O. T. But, it's worse for Hot Stuff, the Little Devil. This book is in rough shape, on the outside. Not surprisingly, no one bought it during Gem City Comic Con. Issue 2 from 1957 is still a good reader, and not easy to find!

7/26/23 Open 6:30-9p. No open containers, please.

Did you truly experience Gem City Comic Con if you came to Dayton, OH and didn't visit BONNETT'S for a vintage-stamped comic?

Thanks to organizers and guests for another great event! Looking forward to next year!

7/24/23 Open 6-9p. No open containers, please.

7/22/23 Open 6-9p tonight!
If you didn't get your fill at #GemCityComicCon, swing by #BonnettsBooks – the #WorldsOldestComicShop, just a few walkable blocks East on 5th St.

Last night, I was supposed to meet with friends to pre-game the con. The meeting site shut down earlier than expected and I didn't make it. Luckily, a few of the gang brought the party to me!

Closed tomorrow through Friday for a few behind-the-scenes jobs.

Today, a loose batch of books from our wrecked shed, showing some damage, but still perfectly readable! 😉👍

A friend tipped me off to this clip from ComicTom101 on YouTube, featuring our old store stamp on Wonder Woman № 1 (1942).
