Just one feature today, a bit of a rarity, for Ian Curtis/Joy Division fans.

3/27/25 — Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.

This limited edition hardcover is a collectors item & intentionally has no ISBN, unlike the regular paperbacks I found online.

Just added at #BonnettsBooks.

A photo of a book. "Joy Devotion – the Importance of Ian Curtis and Fan Culture," edited by Jennifer Otter Bickerdike. Preface by Stephen Morris. Foreword by Kevin Cummins. Published by Headpress. The book's cover illustration is a photo of an enlarged image of a Polaroid picture, mounted in a plain black frame, laying upon snow covered grass. A half-covered, discarded cigarette pack with the words "Smoking Kills" is visible in the upper right of the scene. The image in the Polaroid picture is the cover of the 12-inch single of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division. There's writing in the top and bottom borders of the Polaroid. On top, "With love and appreciation to you Dear Ian." At bottom, "From your friends in Nottingham. Rest in peace Dear Ian."

Brim, a hat shop, in Dayton, Ohio's Oregon Historic District, suffered a wall collapse.

Dayton's oldest neighborhood is known for it's locally-owned retail, restaurants, and nightlife.

The cause of the collapse is unclear, but high winds today may have been a factor. Freeze and thaw this, and previous winters, likely deteriorated the mortar; a concern for many old buildings.

This is around the corner from my shop, #BonnettsBooks; 86 yrs in a 149 yr old bldg.

See alt-text for more info.

A pair photos arranged side by side illustrating efforts by Dayton Ohio Fire Department to secure a patch of collapsed brick wall between the first and second story of an old building that houses a local business in Dayton's Historic Oregon District. The fallen bricks left a 10 foot high by 6 foot wide hole in the outer wall above a sidewalk. Inner layers of brick also fell out. The innermost wall was left with a hole no smaller than nine inches by nine inches. The bottom edge of the big hole is about 5 feet above ground-level. In the early-evening photo on the left a firefighter supports a large wooden brace by hand. Once secured in place the brace is meant to temporarily cover the hole and prevent more bricks from falling. The backs of cameramen from two local news crews are visible in the foreground. The photo on the right shows the finished brace, much larger and more complex, standing on it's own. Wooden sawhorse barricades, the crosspieces painted white with traffic-orange diagonal stripes, block the street. In the left of this photo, unrelated to the collapse, the arm of a small backhoe is visible above a worker standing in a hole. Nearby, parked in an alley behind the afflicted building, the back of a parked dumptruck, in support of the work crew, is visible.

Sharing a book called "End of Work" on a Friday? Not a coincidence! Enjoy the weekend!

• Economic Blackout Day.
It's OK to shop at small businesses, like #BonnettsBooks & most everywhere in the Oregon District.

This book is relevant for the insight it gives about how people saw personal computing in the beginning.

A photo of a red and black book overlaid on a black and white checkerboard pattern. "The End of Work – Technology, Jobs, and Your Future – The Decline of the Global Labor Force and the Dawn of the Post-Market Era" by Jeremy Rifkin, Foreword by Robert L. Heilbroner. Newsday says, "Thorough, thought-provoking, and as radical as reality itself."

Today's featured additions are: Carpe Diem Journal & The Art of S. Clay Wilson.

2/26/25 — Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.

Do what you will with a journal–that's what they're for; but, keep the kiddos and sensitive readers away from this collection of underground-famous comix artworks.

Both now await your perusal on the shelves of #BonnettsBooks!

A photo of a small hardcover book overlayed on a square-cropped and darkened image of "The Art of S. Clay Wilson." Carpe Diem Journal – for all Your Mini Goals and Your Major Goals, too! ... Then go out for ice cream. ... There's nothing else to do. ... Quick! Do it now, before you forget. ... Well, it didn't get done yesterday, did it? The cover is a pale light-green with darker green border, flourishes, and blocks of captioning on either side of the title. All lettering and flair is meant to look as if written/drawn by hand. The title is stamped gold leaf. The subtitling is white, curving above and below the title.
A photo of an oversized hardcover book, in its dustjacket, overlayed on a square-cropped and darkened image of a mint-green book. The Art of S. Clay Wilson. The top third of this cover is a solid glossy black with a warm yellow title printed in the outline of a hand-drawn banner with Chris at either end. The cover illustration is the artist's rendering of an extremely cramped and busy scene of over-the-top cartoon gore and violence as groups of pirates battle one another on the deck of a tall-ship.
