Description
Here is a beautiful first edition copy of “Ojo in Oz”, one of the harder to find and thus more desirable vintage Oz titles. Written by Ruth Plumly Thompson, successor to L. Frank Baum. Copyright 1933 by Reilly & Lee, this is a 1st edition, first printing with 12 beautiful color plates by John R. Neill. This book was only issued for about 2 years with the plates, because In 1935 Reilly & Lee stopped including the color plates to cut costs. This book also is in the “A” binding, according to the Book Collector’s Guide to Baum, with the boldface publisher’s imprint.
The book is in excellent condition, the best I have seen. The cover pastedown is clean, the cloth on spine and rear cover is great, rear corner slightly bumpedl. Inside, both hinges are intact and the endpapers are clean save for a faint pencil price in upper corner (could be erased). Ownership page is blank, pages are clean. All 12 plates are present and in very nice condition. A beauty of a Thompson first!
