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...).

The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll, 1976. Alice in Wonderland Book | Tilted Books This 1976 Vintage Books paperback edition of The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll offers an expansive collection of Carroll’s whimsical, logical, and literary output, far beyond just Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. It includes Sylvie and Bruno and its sequel, the full text of The Hunting of the Snark, dozens of lesser-known poems like Three Sunsets, Puck Lost and Found, and To My Child-Friend, along with Carroll’s essays, parables, symbolic logic puzzles, and curiosities like Photography Extraordinary and Hints for Etiquette. This edition showcases Carroll’s unique blend of fantasy, satire, mathematics, and childlike wonderβ€”all in one volume. It’s a substantial read for anyone interested in Victorian literature, literary nonsense, or the roots of surrealism and symbolic logic in storytelling. Paperback in acceptable condition, with sun fading to the spine and one internal page bearing a small tear (see photos). Binding is intact and content is complete.

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.

A Guide to Fortran Programming, 1963 & Programming With FORTRAN IV, 1972. | Tilted Books These two foundational textsβ€”A Guide to Fortran Programming by Daniel D. McCracken (1963) and Programming With FORTRAN IV by Byron S. Gottfried (1972)β€”offer detailed instruction in one of the earliest...

Before Python, before C, there was Fortranβ€”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.

Vintage Sleep Science Bundle, Dreams Hales 1981 + Gov’t Research 1971 | Tilted Books This sleep science book bundle offers a compelling dive into the mysteries of sleep from both a scientific and practical perspective. The Complete Book of Sleep by Dianne Hales explores the vital role...

Two fascinating glimpses into how we’ve tried to understand sleep over the decadesβ€”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.

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 β€œobscene” 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 β€œarsenals of democracy” and to support their ongoing role in safeguarding intellectual freedom.

As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community:

The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies.

I know, Kindle users, it sucksβ€”but your digital copy can be deleted any time.
