Description
Here is a pretty copy of The Patchwork Girl of Oz book with a blue decorated cloth cover. Written by L. Frank Baum, published by Reilly & Lee. Copyright 1913, this printing is circa 1923 (advertisements on back of half title page list to The Cowardly Lion of Oz). Beautiful color illustrated endpapers, and many fabulous color illustrations, including some double page, by John R Neill throughout the text.
This is a good plus copy overall. Front cover is very nice, spine has light fading, a little wear to cloth at spine base and corners. The cloth is actually a little darker blue than it looks in the photos. Inside, both interior hinges look to have been glue repaired and there is some chipping at upper right of the front one. The pages would be very good except someone has colored many of the B&W illustrations—perhaps 20% of the many that are included throughout.
