About This Item
Chicago, Illinois: Reilly & Lee Co., 1933. Reprint . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Neill, John R.. The 13th book in the Oz series written by Ruth Plumly Thompson carrying on the tradition of the original 14 stories by L. Frank Baum, maintaining the lovely illustrations of artist John R. Neill. Orig. published in 1933, this is a later (post-1935) Reilly & Lee reprint, with NO color plates, but lavishly illustrated in pen-and-ink by Neill throughout the book's 304 pages, with decorative endpapers by same. This edition has green cloth over boards with a brilliantly colored paper pastedown to front cover & black lettering & design to spine (fancy publisher script, not plain). Condition is VG: very clean, text block secure & sturdy, though front hinge is cracked. Pages creamy white with a whisper of tanning to edges; no foxing or stains. Ownership box is blank; NO writing/highlighting/underlining; not ex-lib. Flaws: slightly bumped corners, rubbing to extremities. Front pastedown is brilliant & bright, NO fading or edgewear! Alas, the original DJ is long gone, but this remains a handsome copy! Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
