26 years in Alameda, and that time is coming to an end.  Over those 2+ decades, Tavistock Books has issued a goodly number of FS lists… with that in mind, as we prepare for our move on 26 March, this will be the last list originating from 1503 Webster Street.  And the material herein comes from our “Alcove Case”.  It is the case shop visitors would see to their right as they made their way into the shop, and the case I used to house some of my more interesting material.  Herewith are 15 items from said case.  I hope you too find them ‘interesting’.

It’s February already!  OMG, time is passing so quickly, and here it is already time for our 1st FS list in  the 2nd month of 2023.  So, without further ado, allow me to introduce to you, gentle reader, our 15 offerings for this month, mostly recent acquisitions obtained & catalogued this past month.  You’ll find a scarce Italian cookery book, a small press Carol edition not often seen on the market, a Zamorano 80 title, and 12 other interesting [or so I believe] titles to pique your book collecting interests.

As a bookseller, we often get calls of this nature:  “I know you buy books, but I have an entire estate to disperse…  do you, by chance, also purchase diaries, papers, photo albums, that sort of thing?”  My reply, “Why yes, we do.”  Such an acquisition is typically termed an ‘archive’.  And that, gentle reader, is the theme of this week’s FS list.  Archives.  Here offered are 15 archives, of a diverse nature, of the 30+ that would pop out should you do a search for the keyword ‘archive’ on our tavbooks.com website.

We invite you to peruse our ‘Archives' list, and should you find something that piques your interest, please inquire should you have any questions, or even better [from our perspective], place an order for same.

In either case, enjoy.
