Back in the Saddle Again

Back in the Saddle Again

Well, Tavistock Books is back in operation…. sort of.  My database tells me I have 10,390 items available for possible sale, albeit the preponderance of those are all still in boxes.  Since May 7th, when the 3rd & final load was trucked  up to Reno from 1503 Webster, of those 10,390 items I have in boxes, I’ve unpacked 494 items and shelved them about the new shop.  In many cases, like old friends, we became reacquainted, some eliciting a “Wow, I forgot you were here!”  😃

Here are 20 of those 494 items, including many ‘old friends’, selected for your consideration in this week’s FS list.

Enjoy.
