Description
Here is a nice early copy of “Tik-tok of Oz”, 8th of the Oz books written by L. Frank Baum. Copyright 1914, this is a Reilly & Lee edition with 12 color plates with captions by John R. Neill. According to the Book Collector’s Guide to L Frank Baum, with no list of titles on back of ownership page, it was printed between about 1925 and 1934. Blank endpapers.
Book is in good condition overall. The cover illustration is has some scuffing to edges; the spine and rear cover are in nice shape with light wear. Inside, both hinge have been heavily glue repaired, with a little glue splied to back of spine as well so the cloth is not fully free. Front endpaper has some dirt near base. All 12 color plates are attached and are in very good condition. Pages are generally clean, occasional soiling, p. 145 has a large piece missing at upper corner, and a 1930 name on the Book Belongs To page. A hard to find title with color plates!
