Ninth Street Book Shop

Ninth Street Book Shop has been a haven for bibliophiles in downtown Wilmington since 1987, offering a meticulously organized collection of used and rare volumes that spans every subject imaginable. The store's Delaware history section is unrivaled, featuring first editions, maps, and documents that chronicle the First State's rich heritage. The rare books room on the second floor is appointment-only and contains gems that draw collectors from across the mid-Atlantic. Owner Thomas Brennan's expertise in American history makes every visit an education as well as a shopping trip.
