There are dozens of bookstores in this city, each with their own area of expertise. Some specialize in cookbooks, some in biographies, and some in feudal Brazilian textiles. Since you have a child with you, you’re probably looking for children’s books. Books of Wonder is New York City’s largest and oldest independent children’s bookstore. They have a broad selection of rare and out-of-print books and an expert staff ready to help you find that one book you want to give your son. For any Emerald City-bound readers, be they your children or yourself, be sure to check out the incomparable “Oz” section, dedicated to all things along the yellow brick road, including Frank L. Baum’s volumes and all subsequent literature based on the same city.
