Description
The Dymocks George Street store is Sydney's greatest bookstore. Our story begins in 1879 when William Dymock commenced business as a bookseller in a rented room in Market Street. As his business grew, he moved to a larger and grander premises until, in the 1890's he could claim to have a million books in stock. William Dymock died in his thirty-ninth year. Unmarried and childless, he left the business to his sister Marjory, who was married to John Forsyth. From that time onwards, the Forsyth family has managed Dymocks.
1922 was a landmark year for Dymocks. It was in this year that the family purchased the site of the old Royal Hotel in George Street upon which was built the historic Dymocks building, completed in 1930.
Though still the doyen of Sydney bookstores, by 1980, Dymocks was looking and feeling a little shopworn. It would have been very easy for the grand old store to slide into a gradual decline. However, it was at this time, that John Forsyth, William Dymock's great nephew, decided to take over the company in 1981, selling his own successful printing and publishing business.
