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!

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!

Pete Rose, or "Charlie Hustle," isn't officially recognized for his feats on the ball diamond, which he earned. His un-official activities got him banned-for-life from Major League Baseball & its Hall of Fame.
America's pastime has a code of honor.If it's good enough for the MLB, why shouldn't it apply to something as important as President of the United States of America?

It's Dayton Airshow weekend!
I shot this photo during Friday practice. I'm zoomed in all the way, the planes are fast, the air is hazy, the heat distorts the light... A rather challenging photo session.We've got a lot of aviation and other books in here. If you're in town, stop and check them out!

6/21/24 — Welcome to Summer.
Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.This old bookrack – frail, but still in use – is in the earliest photos from the shop. 80+ year old retailer bookshelves. I've never really stopped to appreciate them in this aspect. Through the years, we've lost a few to wear and this one's fading. There are 5 more still in use, thankfully in better condition.

Is this a meme reply in a 76 year old comic book? Is it proof that time travel exists?
No. Of course not!
I couldn't resist poking some fun when I found this last night.
Panel excerpt from "Jeanie" № 19 (May 1948).

One of the coolest things about our shop is that you might find any topic. Spooky, sexy, fantasies, ridiculous, undisputed, absurd, clinical, exciting, over-the-top, under-the-radar, around-the-corner, and always something interesting!

I forgot book photos, so here's a patch of my wife's garden. I'm working with four-color printed items, so, at least this CYMK coloring is work related. 😉

Todays feature is one of 500 copies in an un-numbered #LimitedEdition hardcover.
The book collects authorized interviews with members of the experimental music group Einstürzende Neubauten (translation: Collapsing New Buildings).
An acquired taste, rarely heard by accident, & well worth an intentional listen–if your mood fits.

In the '70s, Dad humbly advertised occasional offerings in Rocket's Blast ComiCollector (RBCC); a fanzine of renown that ran from the '60s to the '80s. This photo is one of those nearly 50 year old listings. It's an interesting look back at comic collecting before the Internet. Naturally, the listing is no longer valid.

Sharing this because anything featuring "Dick and Jane" is uncommon (even reprinted collections) & folks request them regularly.
Hurry in, before it's gone!

This 1996 book commemorates Olympiad XXVI, held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Our shop was 61 years old.

Stranger was the 1st sci-fi to make the NYT bestseller list. It begins on dry Mars, ends on green Earth.
Dune won the 1st Nebula award, was nearly set on Mars. It begins on green Caladan & ends on dry Arrakis.
Both won the Hugo, dabble in differing lifestyles, politics, belief systems, the importance of water, & are waiting for you here, now.
Stay hydrated!

If you're looking for books to read while camping this Summer, we've got you covered like a premium tent! But, maybe you should pick something other than James Dickey's "Deliverance."

Just in time for holiday travel, tomorrow is the 120th anniversary of the 1st powered flight by our hometown bicycle-building flyboys, the Wright Bros. Coincidentally, the time from us back to them is about the same as they were beyond the 1st hot air balloon. Read this book on your flights & layovers!

This book is pure love. Got it from a used bookstore this weekend and just read the foreword by Ram Dass himself. One of the quotes I loved is by 14th century Christian Mystic Meister Eckhart,”If the soul could have known God without the world, God would never have created the world” ✨
