History
Established in 1979.
D.G.Wills Books reflects fond memories of Blackwell’s bookstore in Oxford, England as well as the late great bookstores, now gone, on lower Fourth Avenue in New York. Architecturally, with our rustic redwood beamed cathedral ceiling and old tools strewn about, we resemble a cracker barrel hardware store from a John Ford film. We also feature a secret bookcase door leading to the warehouse area. For thirty years we have hosted hundreds of events, including Nobel laureates and Pulitzer Prize authors. A number of our events have been televised on C-Span’s Book TV, UCSD-TV and San Diego City TV.
