L. Frank Baum, 1904-1920
Details
A dozen first edition Oz books
L. Frank Baum, 1904-1920
BAUM, L. Frank (1856-1919). One dozen first edition OZ books. Except as noted, Chicago: Reilly & Britton, 1904-1920.
Excellent set of the L. Frank Baum books which continue the Oz series. A fine candidate for the most fantastical children’s series to date, this run includes all of the books authored by Baum except for Scarecrow of Oz; the majority are first states. Comprises: The Marvelous Land of Oz. 1904. Third state, binding D (first few color plates reinserted, one of wear, one leaf with long closed tear). * Ozma of Oz. [c.1911]. Second state. Fine copy. * Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz. [1907.] First state. Metallic cover label. * The Road to Oz. [1909.] First state. Printed on variously colored paper stocks (spine worn). * The Emerald City of Oz. [1910.] Second state, with metallic printing on the color plates, but not the cover (spine rubbed). * The Patchwork Girl of Oz. [1913.] First state. Near fine copy. * Tik-Tok of Oz. [1914.] First state. Near fine copy. * Rinkitink in Oz. [1916.] First state. * The Lost Princess of Oz. Toronto: Copp Clark, [1917]. First state, scarce Canadian issue. Published in partnership with Reilly & Britton. * The Tin Woodman of Oz. [1918.] First state. * The Magic of Oz. Reilly & Lee, [1919]. First state. * Glinda of Oz. Reilly & Lee, [1920].
Together, 12 volumes, small quarto. Profusely illustrated by John R. Neill with color plates as issued, chapter headings, title and ownership page vignettes, etc. Pictorial cloth, pictorial endpapers (overall very good condition, few ownership markings, individual faults noted above).
