Happy ALIEN Day.
Here's a book feat. some of Earth's own weird flora & another about Humanity's early attempts to learn what's "out there," beyond our barely understood planet.
This book combo also reminds me of the fictional film Capricorn One, about a conspiracy to fake the Moon landings, starring James Brolin; whose son Josh was the alien Thanos in the MCU.

Part of our toy collection. This pair is not identical, but close. It's a 3-D pair!
1st, open the image in full-screen; it won't work if cropped. It can help to be a little further from your screen than usual.
Relax your eyes and let the two sides come together. It will look like there are 3 pictures instead of two. When they're matched up right, the middle will appear to be 3-D!
Enjoy!

Real photography from the before-times; a real person, using real optics, shooting film developed in a dark-room, printed on physical media, & delivered to your home or retailer by real people. TIME/LIFE Photography Year, Editions 1974, 1975, 1978, & 1979. Four volumes, 45-50 years old, highlighting the editors picks of exemplary photos of the years. Tiny screens don't do them justice.

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 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!

I'm still corralling our Westerns. Louis L'amour reigns in the genre. Here's a 3-vol. collection of "The Sacketts" & a DVD miniseries, to boot! Take the dusty trail to our Arts section for a book of Charles Russell paintings. Saddle up & mosey in for many more!

Here's a slightly sun-faded bio of silent-film star Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin's first film with sound was "The Great Dictator," a hilarious & damning satire of Hitler & fascism in WWII-era Europe. Fire up your 4/20 Saturday a enjoy a 'little tramp" film festival!

When I'm forgetful sharing our new arrivals it's because I'm working on inventory that's too hot for social-media, rearranging shelves, or some other job that isn't very photogenic. Here's a pic of our sci-fi/fantasy shelves–in need of a refill. The empty spot on the shelves is where Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series was; I'll have to be on the lookout for refills.

Happy #WhiskerWednesday (I forgot book photos again). This is Traveler, who's never really gone anywhere. She's annoyed with my phone.
I thought about a #WesternsWednesday using leftovers from yesterday. If you're interested, check out the stream to see them & the other kinds of books you might find in s stop at #BonnettsBooks!

Adult Western fans, let's call this two-gun Tuesday. Passion & Action, double-barreled double entendre. Many of these series blew through like a tumbleweed. Others linger like the memory of perfumed passion after the musk of the dusty trail, numbering into the hundreds. Lace your chaps or your corset & rustle up some rollicking adventures!

Derby Day & Summer Olympic buzz is ramping up. Enjoy this book of horse racing short stories or a photographic love letter to Paris, France!

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.

Leftover photo day. I haven't any book photos for being mentally focused on paperwork & the eclipse. This photo of our desktop globe was going to be about the moonshadow.
Meanwhile, I've been eclipsed by books... 4 boxes & a backpack on Monday, 3 more boxes yesterday. Cool stuff you'll get to see soon.
Meanwhile, I'm still going through prior new arrivals which I'll be sharing forthwith. 😉👍

For the curious, this is what the eclipse looked like on the outside, while we marveled at it from below.
