With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.

"Buddhist Scholar and Catholic theologian Robert Magliola makes the convincing claim that an adaptation of some of Derrida's strategies makes it possible for Christians to affirm the positive role of Buddhist spiritual practice and teachings." --REV. WILLIAM SKUDLAREK, OSB, consultore, Pontifical Council for Interreligous Dialogue (Vatican)

"A new approach based not on samenesses but on 'founding and irreducible' differences." --FRA MATTEO NICOLINI-ZANI, coordinator, Monastic Interreligious Dialogue, Italy

"A substantial achievement. Magliola is radical as well as profoundly faithful to his own Catholic background." --GAVIN D'COSTA, prof. of Catholic theology, University of Bristol, U.K.

"Magliola is one of the great scholars of Derrida and Buddhism. This new book presents a philosophical foundation for understanding how Catholics can learn and receive from the differences of Buddhism." --DONALD W. MITCHELL, prof. of philosophy emeritus, Purdue University

"This book will be a key tool in grassroots Buddhist-Christian relations." --REV. JAMES LOUGHRAN, SA, director, Graymoor Ecumenical and Interreligious Institute, N.Y.

"Magliola has brought to fulfillment a long path of formation in meditation under the guidance of recognized Buddhist masters in Asia and America. I certify that [he] is qualified to teach meditation [to Catholic clergy, Religious, laity] as transmitted in Zen and in other Oriental modes." --REV. L. MAZZOCCHI, SX, director, Vangelo e Zen, Xaverian Fathers, Italy

Magliola's exposition of Buddhist teachings and practices in Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana has been approved by VEN. BHIKKHU BODHI, pres., Buddhist Publishing Society (1988-2010), Sri Lanka; and VEN. DR. DHAMMADIPA (FA YAO), abbot, Chuang Yen Monastery, N.Y.

From Jacques Derrida's letter, July 6, 1997, to Robert Magliola, regarding Magliola's book On Deconstructing Life-Worlds (1997):

"What a magnificent book! . . . Your profundity, your boldness, and your independence amaze and impress me."

ROBERT MAGLIOLA (Ph.D. Princeton University), formerly chair prof., National Taiwan University and prof. of phil./religious studies, Assumption University (Thailand), has authored 3 earlier books -- all widely reviewed -- and many articles in hermeneutics, Derrida, and religion. A Carmelite lay tertiary, he is affiliated with the Vangelo e Zen community (Italy) and Ling Jiou Shan's Buddhist Center (N.Y.).
