Books of Wonder352

This is my favorite book store of all time! The staff is truly knowledgeable and some have even gone on to become best-selling children's authors, others are now editors at major publishing houses. That speaks volumes about the staff.

The owner, Peter Glassman, is a highly regarded figure in the field of children's literature and his very real passion for books, both new and rare, have made him a solid, long-time supporter of hundreds children's author's and illustrators for decades.

BoW is everything you hope a children's book store can be. Come here for that old childhood favorite, the one you can't find anywhere else. A true NYC favorite that no child should miss...or adult!

The welcoming & knowledgeable staff is passionate about books, able to help with everything from the perfect gift from a grandparent to a 3-yr-old, to what might inspire a 9-yr-old who thinks he doesn't like reading, to what to give a kid who's devoured Harry Potter and wants "more like that"! There's also a very strong stock of titles for "tweens" and Young Adults.

And best of all, BoW has regular Reading/Signing live events with authors for all ages! In an intimate, cozy space, you can meet and talk to your favorite writers & illustrators: Nearly everyone who comes through NYC stops by BoW to do an event. Plus, cupcakes....
