Dee Why Books opened in 1994 at Dee Why, a suburb on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. The shop was so small, only one person at a time was able to work behind the sales counter. Our reputation for having the right book at the right time at a low price brought us customers from all over Sydney. In January 1996, we combined our small shop in Dee Why with the larger neighbouring shop and created a bookshop with the space our books demanded. At least for a short period of time. In October 1999, we started with a moderate 1234 books on the internet. Today we have around 25'000 book titles online and our website handles many orders each day, locally and internationally. Operating a shop, a warehouse, an office and a store room, all in different places, proved to be very difficult. In February 2001 we bought our new warehouse & office: Dee Why Books, Unit 31, 14 Jubilee Avenue, Warriewood/Sydney NSW 2102, about 25 kilometers from the Sydney CBD, from where we are today operating as an Internet Bookshop only.

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\\\\\\\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \\\\\\\"in the stacks\\\\\\\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \\\\\\\"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\\\\\\\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.

Intrinsically fascinating, important, or unusual books in all fields. Specialties include popular culture; esoterica; modern and contemporary literature; John Steinbeck; The Beats; poetry; the avant-garde; small journals and magazines (especially those associated with the Mimeo Revolution); manuscripts, literary ephemera; Americana; as well as vernacular, folk, and outsider books of all kinds. I am always looking to purchase books within my areas of interest, from single titles to collections. Please inquire.

Broadway, 6 blocks south of I-25, and you will enjoy perusing the wonderful antique cast iron bookshelves for that special book in a friendly comfortable setting.
