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.

May has arrived…  a month, here in California at least, where the flowers have blossomed in all their vibrant glory, short sleeve shirts appear from their winter moth-balled storage, and convertibles, well, convert allowing the automobile’s occupant to travel bathed in the warmth of the [soon-to-be] summer sunshine.  Here at Tavistock Books, the front door, which has for months been closed to deny entry to the winter cold, is again open, inviting in the fresh air of the summer that beckons.  And as to books, well, we have some fresh ones of those as well, of which, in this rendition of our biweekly FS lists, we offer 20.

Enjoy.
