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!

My photo of a Mouse Guard™ Roleplaying Game book, by Luke Crane & David Petersen.

An open mouthed viper is attacked by a caped, sword-wielding mouse warrior who is barely a mouthful for the snake.

The front of this books dust jacket is illustrated with wide top & bottom borders of brown with tan filigree.

bonnettsbooks 7/3/24 - Open 7-9p, maybe later. Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.

Open tonight, closed tomorrow, back to normal on Friday. Hope to see you soon!

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!

BONNETT'S BOOKS be closed for INDEPENDENCE DAY Thursday, July 4th 24 HAVE FUN & STAY SAFE

Back in the stacks for First Friday, July 5th, 2024.

An image of white text on a black background, reading as follows:

248 years ago, the baby United States told England to bugger off. "We don't like being ruled by a king, Monarchy sucks!" And we set up a Congress intended to represent the voice & will of 'We the People.

We would elect people to be our voice in Congress. We would elect our President. Our Congress & our President would work things out as 'We the People' wished.

If things weren't working out, there would be a Supreme Court to help make sense of it all.

An image of white text on black, as follows:

The system worked pretty well most of that time. It's been adjusted along the way, trying to reduce corruption, trying to make things better for more of 'We the People.' Nothing is perfect. It's designed for change. Our ability to make change is being eroded.

'We the People' are part of the system. Independence means taking on some responsibility. The system only works if all the parts do their job. If we want the system to work we have to do our part. It takes time, a little bit here-a little bit there.

For over 200 years it's been our system to maintain and parts are going bad. Vote while you can, before the whole thing breaks down.

Happy Independence Day.

7/2/24 — Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.

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?

#BonnettsBooks #DaytonOhio #BrickAndMortar #UsedBookStore

A photo of two Pete Rose books. He's in uniform for the Cincinnati Reds on both covers.

"Pete Rose's Winning Baseball"
A grainy photo shows the titular all-star, in-game, about to connect a swing, the ball mere inches from his bat.

"Pete Rose: My Story" by the author & Roger Kahn.
An in-game photo of the subject, arms raised in celebration – batting helmet held high in his right hand, number one finger raised on his dusty-gloved left hand. He isn't smiling but wears an expression of mild satisfaction.

A composite photo of four paperback sports books, each about the size of a magazine.
All are by Bruce Nash and Allan Zullo.
Each contains a Special Bonus of 45 Trading Cards! Clockwise from top left, the books are as follows:

little BIG LEAGUERS.
Compiled by Bernie Ward.

Red with white and black titling. Four posed, black and white photos of unnamed child baseball players are arranged in a square with a circular color photo of each in the outermost corners. Triangular green shading divides each pair of photos, to give the impression of a baseball diamond.

More little BIG LEAGUERS.
Compiled by Tom Muldoon.

Yellow with red and black titling, designed in the same manner as the first book.

little football BIG LEAGUERS.
Compiled by Tom Muldoon.

Blue with white and yellow titling. A reversed arrangement similar to the baseball books, color pro photos squared in the middle with square black and white child photos in the outer corners. A white border filled with a row of red stars connects the images.

little basketball BIG LEAGUERS.
Compiled by Bernie Ward.

Green with yellow and white lettering. Arranged side by side are four narrow color images of pro players making jump shots, topped by a square black and white photo of each as a child.

6/22/24 — Open 6:30-9p... maybe later! Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.

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!

A hazy photo of a Blue Angels jet, in flight. This blue and gold United States Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet makes a hard banking turn. Condensation trails from it's engine intakes and wingtips.

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).

An edited and enhanced excerpt from a vintage comic book panel.

A panicked woman wearing a green dress and heels in a forest leaps up a tree and clings to a branch, exclaiming "It's a REAL bear!"

6/17/24 — Open 6:30-9p. Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.

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!

A composite image: 3 photos of book covers.

"Residents of Innsmouth" hardcover. Grayscale cover of a moonlit old seaside town; a bit dark, spooky. Low dark clouds on the horizon.

Clifford Meth's "Comic Book Babylon" trade paperback spoofs the cover of Richard Anger's classic tell-all, "Hollywood Babylon," by adding a revealing superhero trim to the classic Jayne Mansfield leaning-over-to-spill-her-bosom photo.
Cover art by Pascale ©2013. Introduction by Stan Lee, illustrations by Michael Netzer.

"Ohio Curiosities – Quiet characters, roadside oddities & other offbeat stuff," by Sandra Gurvis has a white cover with a few pastel circles of light blue, sky blue, and maize around a circular photo of the giant Longabarger fruit basket.

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. 😉

#BonnettsBooks #DaytonOhio #BrickAndMortar #UsedBookStore #WorldsOldestComicShop #BloomScrolling

A small patch of decorative mulched garden with small, bright flowers of many varieties in blue, yellow, and red. A circular paver with flowers and butterflies proclaims "Home, Sweet Home."

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.
