Description
Here is a nice copy of “The Yellow Knight of 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 1930 by Reilly & Lee, this is a first edition with 12 fabulous color plates by John R. Neill. Also with illustrated endpapers and in the “A” binding state with boldface “Reilly & Lee” on spine (Book Collector’s Guide to L Frank Baum). Brick red cloth.
Copy is in near very good condition overall. The exterior cover plate is quite nice, and the cloth is in good shape except for a little wrinkle on the spine as shown. Rear cover is nice. Inside, the front hinge is partially cracked, and the back is cracked with the mull (webbing) showing, but everything is still holding together. There is a name and 1930 pencil inscription on the Book Belongs To page. All 12 color plates are present and in very good overall condition. They have eyepopping bright colors; I love the plates in this book. The pages are generally nice condition also.
