Books of Wonder, Company
Books of Wonder is your source for the finest in children's books — both new and old. We offer a wide range of services via our New York City bookstore, our extensive mail order service, and now a fully functional e-commerce web site.
Founded in 1980, Books of Wonder is New York City's largest and oldest children's bookstore and the city's leading specialist in children's literature. Among the various departments in our store are sections devoted to children's classic and contemporary picture books, board books for infants and toddlers, foreign language children's books, reference books for children (dictionaries, atlases, etc.), non-fiction, and chapter books and novels for children from beginning readers to teens. And, of course, there is our world famous Oz section - a whole bookcase devoted to the many Oz books by L. Frank Baum and his successors. Of special interest to collectors is our wall of old, rare, and collectible children's books and original children's book art.
Books of Wonder publishes many of the Oz classics, including the original L. Frank Baum titles (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its many sequels) as well as later Oz stories written by other writers. For the many fans of Oz, Books of Wonder sponsors The Royal Club of Oz which publishes "The Emerald City Mirror", the club's official newsletter.

There are nearly sixty titles in the series including Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, The Jungle Book, The Story of Dr. Doolittle, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
