Wonderland Books began doing business in 1990, dealing in old, rare, and out-of-print children's books. Owner Larry Rakow is a former children's and young adult librarian and the prior owner of Kidstamps and Wonder-Shirts, businesses that created educational items and apparel designed by some of the world's leading children's illustrators to encourage and motivate reading. A proud board member of the Movable Book Society (www.movablebooksociety.org), and member of the Magic Lantern Society of the U.S. and Canada (www.magiclanternsociety.org), the Independent Online Booksellers Association (https://www.ioba.org), and a past-president of the Northern Ohio Bibliophilic Society (www.nobsbooks.org), Larry lives with his wife, Susan, two children and four grandchildren in Cleveland Heights, OH.

Wonderland Books maintains an inventory of more than 13,000 titles and specializes in pop-up and novelty books, Newbery and Caldecott-award winners, Golden Books, and illustrated titles from Victorian through modern times. We attend a limited number of book fairs each year (at least in non-pandemic years), but tend to do most of our sales over the internet. We pride ourselves on offering collectible books in extraordinary condition and have helped customers complete collections of Caldecott-winners and Little Golden Books, rare Meggendorfer, Nister, and Raphael Tuck titles, and many much-beloved books from their childhoods. Looking for a particular title? I'm sure we can help.
