Peter W<p>📚 If a second hand bookshop has sci-fi and fantasy recommendations like this, as well as a Terry Pratchett timeline and categorisation, I’m going to be an instant fan. Just spent a lot of time browsing the very reasonably priced books in Arty Bees Books, Wellington, NZ.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SecondhandBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SecondhandBooks</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Pratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pratchett</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Discworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Discworld</span></a></p>

GoldGato<p>This is the story of Nonesuch, the last of a unique family of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/dragons" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dragons</span></a>. He has lived many centuries and ends up as A BOOK DRAGON, changing his shape to fit on the shelves of a local <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/bookstore" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bookstore</span></a>. With pen-and-ink <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/illustrations" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>illustrations</span></a> by Nancy Ruth Jackson, this 1987 publication by Donn Kushner remains a <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MiddleGrade" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MiddleGrade</span></a> classic.

GoldGato<p>Give me a nicely produced <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/book" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>book</span></a> that pertains to <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gardening</span></a> and you have a happy reader. My Bookroom Treasure this week is 75 REMARKABLE FRUITS FOR YOUR GARDEN by Jack Staub, published in 2008.

GoldGato<p>It's unusual to find an original paperback in almost fine condition, particularly one published in 1965. My Bookroom Treasure this week is AN EASY INTRODUCTION TO THE SLIDE RULE by the great <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>scifi</span></a> writer, Isaac Asimov. He stated that "it can solve almost any numerical problem that you meet up with under ordinary circumstances."

GoldGato<p>This the season for Dungeness and my Bookroom Treasure this week is ALL ABOUT CRAB: THE CRAB LOVER'S GUIDE TO DUNGENESS by Nancy Brannon. Full of recipes but also how-to tips.

GoldGato<p>Carousel animals come alive in this 1986 book by William Kotzwinkle. Lyrical pen & ink illustrations by Joe Servello "shimmer with life".

GoldGato<p>My Bookroom Treasure this week is THE RACCOON NEXT DOOR, by the late Gary Bogue. He was the wildlife columnist for the Contra Costa Times and also the Lindsay Wildlife Museum curator. It's a good read to help people understand that we share nature with skunks and opossums and other critters. Nicely illustrated and very helpful.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BookToot" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BookToot</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/secondhandbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>secondhandbooks</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>reading</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/saturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>saturday</span></a></p>
