Pirates in Oz

The 25th book in the continuing Oz series & the 11th written by Ruth Plumly Thompson (the 2nd "Royal Historian of Oz") "founded on & continuing" the tradition of the original 14 stories by L. Frank Baum, with the original illustrations of artist John R. Neill throughout the 280 pages of text, along with the front pastedown & decorative endpapers. Orig. published in 1931, this is a later (post-1935) printing of that First Edition (Hanff & Greene, p.98), with the color plates now rendered in black-and-white. With red-orange cloth-covered boards. black lettering & design to spine, & a brilliantly colored paper pastedown, this octavo is in VG+ condition: generally quite clean & bright, binding strong & straight, both hinges secure, pages modestly tanned around edges, light foxing & soil to exterior edges of text block & around exterior page edges in front matter. Unmarked save for a couple of name stamps of former owner to endpapers & "This Book Belongs To" box in front. Front pastedown has a tad of rubbing, else bright & colorful with no wear! 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!
