The TWENTIETH CENTURY COOK BOOK by California Regional Benefit Cookery Book on Tavistock Books

One of the personal by-products of this past year's COVID-19 pandemic experience was the realization that I, after 32 years in the antiquarian book trade, no longer wish to man an open shop for 8 hours a day. Going forward, I intend to pursue a semi-retired lifestyle, and in keeping with this philosophy, have transitioned to a on-line only business model.

And in keeping with this new business model, this website is open 24/7 and any order placed will [normally] ship within 3 business days, if not sooner.

Kind regards,

Vic Zoschak
