Books of Wonder

[6] Two years later, in 1984, at an American Bookseller Association conference, Glassman and Carey met with David Reuther, then editor-in-chief of Morrow Junior Books.

As this aligned with Reuther's plan on reissuing classic children's books, and due to low costs because of expired copyrights,[5] he agreed to help, and in the next year they started an imprint under William Morrow and Company.

[10][11] In 1991, a branch of the store opened in Beverly Hills, California,[8] funded in part by Cheers co-creators Les Charles and James Burrows.

Road repairs in Greenwich Village had hurt foot and vehicle traffic to the former,[11] and the California location was affected by the 1992 Los Angeles riots, flooding, and an earthquake.

[8] In June 2017, Glassman announced that he would be opening a new Books of Wonder at Upper West Side, mentioning having a second place would be beneficial in case he was unable to renew the lease of the Chelsea store, which was ending soon.
