Franchise History
The Dymocks George Street store is Sydney’s greatest bookstore. Their 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.
