The Patchwork Girl of Oz

Orig. published in 1913, this is a later (post-1935) Reilly & Lee reprint, with the NO color plates, but lavishly illustrated in pen-and-ink by John R. Neill throughout the book's 341 pages, with decorative endpapers by same; summaries of some other Oz books in rear. This edition has dark blue cloth over boards, with a brilliantly colored paper pastedown to front cover & black lettering & design to spine (fancy publisher script, not plain). Condition is VG- (minus): generally very clean, with the occasional smudge. Text block strong, but rear hinge is cracked. Pages creamy white with light tanning, heavier around edges. Ownership box is blank, all pages unmarked. Bumped corners, rubbing to extremities, heaviest at lower spine & a very heavily rubbed spot along lower fore edge side of rear board. The fFront pastedown is brilliant & bright, NO fading or edgewear! Alas, the original DJ is long gone, but this remains a handsome copy! Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
