This unique guide leads you in words and pictures through the opulent estates of the industrialists, wildcatters, inventors, and others whose lives define the American success story. Practical information helps plan your visits, while each entry tells the stories of the houses, architects, and owners, and describes the period furniture and decor. All 50 states are represented, giving you hours of armchair travel to America's castles.
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.
