4/23/24 — Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.

It's insect season. Some are good, some aren't. These will help you know the difference. You might look the bugs up on your phone; but real books are better... You can swat the bad bugs with an old book. Try that with your phone and you could be out a few hundred bucks!

A composite image of 3 books about insects, arranged side by side and overlayed on a motion-blurred background.
The first two books are the classic Golden Nature Guides: Insects and Insect Pests; the third is Simon and Schuster's Guide to Insects.
The Golden books both appear to have seen better days, each sporting creased covers and worn edges from decades of use; and the cover of Pests is considerably sun-faded. The last book is newer and in much better condition.

These vintage Golden Guides were pocket references to the world around us, before mobile telephony. No ads & tracking, but no 9-1-1 or geolocation, either. See these collectors items & more, available here, now!
