About This Item
[Macatawa, Michigan]: Tamawaca Press, 1907. Near fine.. First edition and only printing of this "summer comedy" self-published by Baum, set near Lake Michigan where Baum wrote many of his books, an exceptional copy. "The title is an anagram for Macatawa, the resort on Lake Michigan where Baum wrote many of his books and serves as the setting for this satire. Baum himself makes a brief appearance as Mr. Wright. The book may have been published by Baum himself, and it was certainly available only at Macatawa and among the small community there" (Swann/Greene 165). Quite scarce in such beautiful condition. Octavo. 7.25'' x 4.75''. Original blue-green pictorial cloth stamped in blue and white. All edges uncut. 185, [1] pages. A few leaves roughly opened. Sliver of marginal toning to boards, light bump to spine foot, faint toning to spine.
