Description
Here is a very nice 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 two years with the plates, because In 1935 Reilly & Lee stopped including the color plates to cut costs. This book is in the “B” binding, (according to the Book Collector’s Guide to Baum), with the semi-script publisher’s imprint.
The book exterior is in beautiful, near fine condition, clean pastedown, and the cloth on spine and rear cover is in great shape, clean and bright. Inside, the hinges are tight except the rear one has a little cracking just at the top. The endpapers have some age toning and old bookseller’s price, and The Book Belongs Page To has a neat name. The ages are quite clean, no writing or tears, and all 12 plates are present and in excellent, near fine condition. A nice, collectible copy.
