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.

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.

Here's another that, if someone doesn't buy it soon, I may just take home. Not an audiobook but, a collection of audio from historic events on 2 CDs, compiled with a book of background info. Primarily concerned with US events.

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.

It's a rainy First Friday in the beautiful & historic Oregon District of Dayton, Ohio. Even Tom Swift tried to elbow in on the action with a Wright Flyer & a crankless ignition car for his adventures. We're a fascinating stop for your next expedition!

Oh, the free-lovin' '70s... Before the HIV '80s, the Hepatitis '90s, the cybersex Naughties ('00s) and so on, Xaviera–the Happy Hooker, shared her extensive knowledge & experience about the Sex. She wrote a few books & was the monthly advice columnist for Penthouse magazine over many years. Here's a flashback for the historically & erotically curious.

This year, the theme for the 37th annual Hauntfest on Fifth Street is Science Fiction. Are you ready for the alien invasion? Perhaps this magazine will help. We also have dozens of vintage UFO mags from the '70s you can beam-up into your collection!

Cryptic books from the cobwebbed stacks in the dark secret vault of the hidden cellar in the deepest chamber of the dank tunnels and haunted passages beneath the innocent looking bookshop named BONNETT'S. What more waits for you? Do you dare enter to examine the tomes of a forgotten age?

A reminder, in the ongoing WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike... Without the talented artists & craftspeople who make movies & shows, there won't be any future original classics, just A.I. ripping off and regurgitating things an algorithm deems popular. How would it know? It hasn't any real friends.

Any Wrestling fans here in the fediverse?

Grandpa wrote about a wrestler in pulps 90 years ago. I've been thinking about updating the character.

A fresh batch of professional wrestling books and magazines turned up to inspire me.

Here's a sneak peak at 6 from a stack of dozens. A few real classics in this bunch!

Ahead of Memorial Day in the U.S., I'm drawn back to these December 1968 "Business Automation" ads. My fellow #Daytonians may recall #NCR HQ being here, their crucial role in WWII, & the old downtown #Dayton #Greyhound bus station. DYK Greyhound dabbled in the early computing industry?

"Batman: The Cult" trade paperback first edition, found in one of my to-do boxes Saturday evening by a customer who wisely elected not to carry it around all night. The Dark Knight approves making the tough calls.
