Tavistock Books is moving! Yes, our Alameda lease expires 30 April, so we're moving the shop from Alameda to Reno, with the first load being trucked up 26 March 2023.

While orders may be placed during this time of transition, please note the book ordered may be in Alameda, or Reno, so shipment could possibly be delayed. If delivery time is of concern, please inquire as to immediate availability before placing the order. Thank you for your patience & understanding.

Our new Reno address is 220 S. Rock Blvd, Unit 10. As here in Alameda, we'll be open by Appointment, and we expect to be ready to receive visitors o/a 1 July, if not earlier. Stay tuned!
