and to be honest, one I never really expected to survive 25 months, much less 25 years.\u00a0 But here we are, in May of 2014, a surviving, if not actually thriving, antiquarian book shop, on Webster Street in Alameda, with a [sometimes] open door, and a decidely lazy shop dog one must step over to browse the shelves.<\/p>\n<p>Also one year ago this month, the firm hired Margueritte Peterson, its first full-time employee, who, by accepting our modest job offer, fulfilled a personal desire to join our quaint trade, and so journeyed from Florida to California to take-on the not-inconsiderable tasks as my Aide-de-Camp.<\/p>\n<p>With these thoughts in mind then, we issue our first <a title=\"Tavistock Books: 25 Books for 25 Years in Business\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tavbooks.com\/tavistock\/images\/pdfcatalogs\/2_catalog.pdf\">full-color pdf catalogue<\/a>, comprised of<span style=\"color: #262626;\">\u00a025 items, selected from stock, which represent the firm&#8217;s subject specialities, as well as the overall eclectic &amp; diverse nature of the Tavistock Books inventory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Should you have queries regarding any of these 25, or other items you may find on our site, please\u00a0don&#8217;t hesitate to contact us.\u00a0We thank you for your attention, and we hope you enjoy browsing our catalogue, and\/or the other listings found here on the website.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px;
