Weird pictures of the day are a couple of vintage Spanish Edgar Rice Burroughs' paperbacks with cover illustrations by Prieto. (Not books I own, btw). #weird #weirdart #artsky #fantasyfiction #BookChatWeekly #booksky #VintagePaperbacks #EdgarRiceBurroughs

Today's feature — 18 early books from "Casca, the Eternal Warrior" series, created by Barry Sadler, composer of "The Ballad of the Green Berets." A few have Fabio covers!

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!

Sex & relationship advice in the 1970s was vastly superior to that of the '50s, which were better than the '30s... We should know. We've been here the whole time!
These seem a little mansplain-ish by today's standards, & probably so. Still useful, though. Maybe good for laughs!

There's a pleasure in reading a rough old pulp paperback. Will new books, with generic graphics on "immortal" acid-free paper catch the interest of a reader 3 or 4 generations hence?

Older books instantly transport a reader into their stories. Texture makes the world feel real, organic, and lived-in, the art gives you a clue what's in store, & they absolutely grab your attention!

New to our Biographies... In '72 Hughes' Corp. built the Glomar Explorer mining/salvage vessel. To build it, a giant crane barge was made by Sun Shipbuilding. It was all a CIA cover, to recover a wrecked Soviet sub. That crane, the Chesapeake 1000, still works today at the MV Dali-shipwrecked Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, MD.

If "The Spirit of '76" makes you think of Will Eisner instead of America's birthday, you might be a pulp fan.
When you hear "Psycho" and think of Robert Bloch instead of an ex, you might be a pulp fan.
Will Eisner's Spirit Casebook 1: True Haunted Houses & Ghosts (1976, 1st print, 1st ed).
Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper (1962, 1st/1st).

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?

Tonight's Vampire Ball at Next Door Lounge has inspired today's post. But, who can think of vampires without also conjuring werewolves? The King book is illustrated throughout by horror art icon, Berni Wrightson!

These 2 terrifying tomes are available here, now!

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! 😉👍

Not quite ready for sale, a recently acquired collection of vintage Mentor Books. These have always been personal favorites and can be difficult to find in nice shape. Their gloss-clad covers tend to peel, sometimes taking color with it.

"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.

In his wake, remembrance of Al Jaffee's MAD Fold-Ins overshadows his many other contributions to the mag, as collected in numerous paperbacks, like "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions."
