BOOKS OF WONDER NEW YORK CITY 1980 TO PRESENT
Books of Wonder’s claim to fame is that it was the model for the bookstore in the 1997 film You’ve Got Mail . Nora and Delia Ephron, who wrote the film, were both longtime customers and friends of the store—and Meg Ryan spent a day working at the shop to prepare for her role in the film. In 1985, Books of Wonder established a joint imprint with William Morrow and Company, publishing its own children’s books. Its standing-room-only events have included celebrated authors like J. K. Rowling, Madeleine L’Engle, Maurice Sendak, and Eric Carle.
