Just yesterday, Tavistock Books celebrated its 30 year anniversary. 30 years in business. 30 years in this wonderful, insane business we call the antiquarian book trade. We are nothing short of proud, and grateful for all of your support over our many years!

We were able to throw a little shindig at Tavistock Books’ main residence – 1503 Webster Street in Alameda, California (where we have been located for the last 22 years of our full 30). Samm and Vic made sure there were snacks and champagne galore! A big thank you to many of our bibliophile friends for their encouragement – and for the turn out! We had a steady stream of visitors all day and are so happy to not only call them our colleagues, but our friends as well.

I don’t believe anyone could have put it better than Chris Lowenstein of Book Hunter’s Holiday (ABAA), “It is a pleasure to see someone be successful in this business for 30 years – especially someone who shares that success with others all around him through his mentorship and kindness. He has been mentoring me for the past 12 years and I wouldn’t still be in this business without him! Congratulations to Vic Zoschak and to Tavistock Books.”

Hear, hear!
