    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!

    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).

    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!

    Here we go–my first regular daily bookstore post on mastodon.social. I'm gonna start off with a 'bang' (wink, wink).

    Recent arrivals from the sunshine state, a pile of kink, leather, & more; these being the safest to share. If you don't already have vacation plans, maybe take time & learn to REALLY enjoy yourself this summer.

    Even Nostradamus didn't predict I'd spend so much time 2024 with Westerns, Horseback Riding, Harness Racing, & Horse Care. I rode a horse once–part of Summer camp, a Scout badge, or something like that... My jam is sci-fi. Maybe it's time I rewatch that space Western series, Firefly.

    I'm still on the dusty trail in our Westerns. Plenty of classics adapted to film plus tie-ins to vintage TV favorites. As usual, this is only a sample of the books we've got corralled. Giddy-up!

    If you're still trying to piece together the puzzle of your St. Patrick debauchery, you might skip this post. If you like Sudoku puzzles, this one's for you! 16 unmarked number puzzle mags! These are all about 10 years old, so, even if you do these all the time, you've probably forgotten this batch by now.

    Literally & metaphorically, the Sun is gaslighting us. We're in a relationship with a bi-polar Solar partner. It gives us light but also makes shadows. There's light we can't see! What's Sol hiding? We're told to fear the dark, but Night is when we rest! What to do, what to do..?

    From November 1979 LIFE magazine, "Barbie Turns 21." A walk through the first 2 decades of a toy line nearing 70 years of age. Now, in 2024, a wonderful & fun Oscar nominated movie. Good luck! A lot has changed over the years, but much has not.

    I've wanted to read this guy's books since they were new. Sadly, I haven't much time to read. They're on my endless TBR. The last books I read were in Dec. '19, bus-bound due to major car work. "A Princess of Mars" & "Treasure Island" got me through. I really want to keep this 1st/1st gem, but it's not to be.

    Two very interesting books from a pile of new arrivals. Are they Philosophy? Writing? Sociology? I love the challenge of shelving cross-topic books. I'll probably put them in Science... Or, just let them float around the tables for a bit and see who finds them first. 😉

    I like to spot old magazine ads for cars I've driven. My brother had an IH Scout for a while–I borrowed it a few times. Dad gave me his VW Beetle after teaching me to drive stick. From Catalina to Montana via El Dorado, Monte Carlo, Saturn and more... What a long, strange trip it's been.

    Today would be Dad's 89th birthday.

    Here he is in "Satan in High Heels" (1962), alongside it's stars–Meg Myles & Grayson Hall, with Del Tenney, who later directed schlock-classic, "The Horror of Party Beach."

    Happy Birthday, Dad!

    Today's feature:
    Peter Hedges' "What's Eating Gilbert Grape."
    Is this an uncommon tome? Until today, I only knew of the film. I've never seen it before and I'd already been in the used books biz for years when it was published, in 1991.
