A foundational work of mid-century UFO contactee literature, The Saucers Speak (1963) gathers alleged radio transmissions and interplanetary messages that shaped an entire era of cosmic inquiry. Now available at TiltedBooks.com.
Nietzsche’s collected works always feel like a shock of cold water, a mix of clarity, critique, and a reminder to question what we usually take for granted. This Modern Library edition gathers several key texts and shows how his ideas developed over time.
Came across this beautiful catalogue of Joichi Hoshi tree woodblock prints frfom 1970-1979. Absolutely beautiful.

MAHA (make art horny again)
Surround yourself with the kind of people who help turtles cross the road.
Picked up this small but dense little gem on the WWII French Resistance. Hopefully we won't be needing these tactics here, but just in case you can grab it for $4 (a good add on to something lighter, for instance www.tiltedbooks.com/product-page...).
Had to grab this one as all of these have been on my to-read list for a long, long time. This copy is a little rough, and priced accordingly.
Just got back from the 2025 Dallas Antiquarian Book Fair. Such a great variety from vellum in cases to Xanth first editions.

When looking around for a couple of hashtags for this, I discovered modern FORTRAN is a thing. How cool!

Before Python, before C, there was Fortran—meticulously typed, line-numbered, and often fed into machines one punch card at a time. These two books from McCracken (1963) and Gottfried (1972) capture a time when coding felt more like engineering than typing. They're weirdly beautiful.
There’s something grounding about flipping through a good Irish cookbook—rich stews, soda bread, sticky toffee pudding. Feels like a warm kitchen on a rainy day...
Going to be a lot for the techs who support all those devices, but have nothing to do with Elon/Trump, to clean up, reimage, reset etc.
Two fascinating glimpses into how we’ve tried to understand sleep over the decades—one by a science journalist in the early '80s blending research with real-life stories, the other a 1971 government report packed with data on REM, dreams, and sleep stages. Insightful reads that still resonate.
At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to wear a brown overcoat and solve a mystery in a quaint village in the English countryside whilst sipping tea?
This essay traces the long and turbulent history of American booksellers who have faced censorship, harassment, and even violence for defending the freedom to read. Through vivid anecdotes and historical cases-from undercover stings in the early 1900s and legal battles over “obscene” literature, to FBI surveillance of Black bookstores and bomb threats against feminist and LGBTQ+ shops-the author illustrates how bookstores have repeatedly become battlegrounds in the fight for civil liberties and free expression. Despite intimidation from both government and private groups, booksellers have pushed back, shaping legal precedents and rallying communities to defend First Amendment rights. The essay ultimately calls on readers to recognize bookstores as “arsenals of democracy” and to support their ongoing role in safeguarding intellectual freedom.
Booksellers have faced censorship and harassment defending the freedom to read. Celebrate your local bookstore and support their ongoing role in safeguarding intellectual freedom.

Gru with a large white pad that says "First we get a book". In the next panel it says "Then, we get another book". In the next panel it says "And then we say no more books". In the next panel it says "But then, we see another book". In the last panel Gru looks excited and it says "So we get two more books!"
