I’m a big fan of special events and occasions, especially when significant numerals are involved (probably a tip-of-the-hat to my moderate O.C.D. tendencies). Here at Wonderland Books we’re marking the tenth edition of the Wonderland100 and have tried to figure out an appropriate way to both celebrate our site and honor our loyal customers.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: This catalog’s one hundred choice items include a mish-mash of wonderful selections: pop-ups and movables, Caldecott and Newbery award-winners, ABC’s, African American titles, 19th century chromos, and much more. Prices range from the very affordable to reasonably pricey. But this time around, we’re offering our very first across the board discounts:

Purchase 1 book and pay the list price

Purchase 2 books and take a 10% discount (Code TWO100)

Purchase 3 books and take a 15% discount (Code THREE100)

Purchase 4 books and take a 20% discount (Code FOUR100)

Purchase 5 or more books and take a 25% discount (plus a special gift from our grab bag!) (Code FIVE100)

Sooo…order away but make certain to count your purchases carefully and enter the appropriate code in the order form in the box marked “Discount Code.” Discounts are for individual orders only. If you order 4 items on a single order, you can use the FOUR100 discount code. If you order two items today and two items next week, you can only use the TWO100 code (but you can use it once on each order). Have fun!

Welcome to the 10th edition of 100 Wonderful Books from Wonderland, an online catalog appearing several times annually offering a select variety of top-of-the-line items. With few exceptions, we offer only first editions (by which we mean first edition, first printings) in original dust jackets (if thus issued).

You can easily use a Search function to the bottom of each page. In addition to the Categories tab above, you can now search by title, author, illustrator, or key word. Simply type your request in the Search field and a list will automatically scroll below.

This is an easy site to navigate. Start by clicking 100 Books in the above menu to go straight to the current offerings. Click on any listing to get a detailed description and chance to purchase. If you're interested in a particular sort of book, click on Categories in the menu bar to see only those. Find out more about us at...well...at About Us, and check into our Blog for interesting errant thoughts and diversions (this edition's blog is a cranky take on bookselling and aging…hey, we all have bad days!). Questions? Contact Us provides a handy place for your queries.

Wonderland Books is located in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and specializes in old, rare, and out-of-print children's books with an inventory of over 13,000 titles. 

We’ll return to a full slate of in-person antiquarian book fairs as soon as the pandemic abates, but in the meanwhile we’re participating in promoter Marvin Getman’s virtual fairs. You’ll find a brand-new fair with brand-new exhibitors and items for sale in each event. You can sign up and receive notice of future fairs at www.getmansvirtual.com. Check it out!

Please check out additional listings on ABEbooks.com or search for listings on eBay (our customer name is wonderlandbooks). And don't forget our Facebook page (Wonderland Books-Old & Rare Children's Books). We'll be offering interesting content for book collectors plus special sales and deals for our Facebook friends only. Happy hunting!
