Happy Birthday, Dad!

All the books I post are available in-store when I share them. Rarely, I'll discuss something not here and I'll mention the fact.

These 4 books & our official t-shirt (top left) are here now! I have plenty of shirts (Sm-3XL) but, many books may not turn up again!

If you're near & see a book here, get it while the gettin's good – plus, similar items I haven't shared. Stop & see!

I don't recall having shared a selfie on M:BOOKS, so here's your humble curator of social media for Bonnett's Books. The shop is 84 years old, in the same location since 1939.

The t-shirt behind me features our old store stamp on the cover of a "Satan in High Heels" paperback movie tie-in novel from 1962. My grandpa wrote the story the movie is based on and my father has a small role in the film.

Stop in if you visit Dayton!
