The Little Bookroom
This unique compilation of insights into the world's most magnificent art, architecture and antiquities, by the people who know them best, unlocks the door to the Rome most visitors miss.
A renowned painter shows the way to an overlooked masterpiece; an archaeologist walks you through an intriguing ancient ruin; a Renaissance scholar tells which of Michelangelo's works he finds the most moving of all. Along the way a poet laureate imparts the address of a gourmet cheese shop with its own pizzeria and an acclaimed director sets the stage for an ideal Roman afternoon.
City Secrets Rome reveals the city that will take your breath away. Organized by area; with colour maps, vintage photographs and illustrations.
About Us
About Wildwood Books
Wildwood Books is not your average bookstore. We’re a local hub for readers, collectors, and anyone who gets a kick out of discovering something new or long-forgotten on a crowded shelf.
What you see here is exactly what you get: honest-to-goodness stacks, a living collection. Our shelves are lined with everything from American history, classics, and biographies, to cookbooks, crime fiction, textbooks, and deep cuts you won’t find at the chains. We’ve got rare finds, fresh bestsellers, and those odd gems you only notice when you slow down and actually look.
We buy, sell, and trade both new and used books. Our stock is sourced from local libraries, estate sales, and fellow readers all over town. What matters most to us is the story each book brings—not just what’s inside, but who picked it up, passed it on, or made space for it on their own shelves.
Wildwood Books is a space for real book people—teachers, students, nurses, collectors, history buffs, and everyday readers. If you see a title here, it’s because it matters to someone, not just because it’s a hot new release.
Come visit us in person, browse the shelves, and take home your next story—or shop online, where we ship our books nationwide and worldwide. Whether you’re after a classic American Revolution history, a modern thriller, or something you’ve never even heard of, you’ll find your place here.
