A really great book store for those looking to find something for a gift or a collection. This is not a typical used book store, but a high end antiquarian book seller. They really know what they are doing in there, and have been in business for over 30 years. I found an amazing Nancy Drew book here! Not for the faint of heart or someone looking for a cheap paperback.

In an economy where we must nurture whatever mom and pop type business we can, I can endorse Tavistock Books wholeheartedly. Ive been a patron for years, so much so that, although I live on the West Side of town now, I make the trek to Los Feliz to purchase books from Kerry Slaterry and her staff and feel good about it. The store is not a cardboard cut out, the inventory is well chosen and, finally, the store and staff are activists in and a credit to the community.

I love all book store and this one had old ones!

Typical scammer response... thats not the book I sent!! Of course it is. You should change your name to scamartist2004..This is How they Treat Others They bought a book from me,, for $19,, they Didnt buy insurance for $1,, said the book Binding was completely loose,, I would have remembered the book being Completely,, I asked they to send few pics so I could investigate and compare to my pics that was on the Add when I sold the book,,They Did Not send any pics but this nasty unprofessional Note...all over $19 .

Its a good store. Its definitely for collectors though.

Vic obviously is not attuned for purchasing 1st editions, seeing I just brought in about 75 that he completely disregarded, and theres nothing rare in not desiring to purchase choice books from a ruddy red head. Baffling. Again, I have yet to meet an honest book buyer.I understand not wanting to do business with grungy, uncouth tough guys, but legal business with merchandise that has been aquired absolutely above board & honest with a reasonable character is, to the tempered inquisitive, fair play.However, no matter what I showed Vic, short of Hitlers mustache in a sealed test tube, there was an air of indifference & contempt . First editions nothing.I showed him a consolidated 1931 reprint from Surtees, circa 1840s, with 1,000 copies printed, mine being numbered of course, which he shrugged off with a Hereyago handing it back .Ill spit once and drown the whole bunch . So narrow minded that a fly could sit on the tip of their noses & kick them in both eyes at the same time. The rascals, I bet they screw their socks on in the morning, the whole crooked bunch.Rare & first edition ...... amazing.

Great bookseller, great finds.
