Description: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Author: BAUM, L. Frank; Pictures by W. W. Denslow Title: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Publication: Chicago: Geo M. Hill, 1900 Edition: First Edition Description: Hardcover. Square large octavo, 259pp., illustrated with 24 plates, including the title page (complete as issued). Second state, conforming to all issue points on p. 27 in Hanff's bibliography (details upon request). A very good copy in the publisher's decorative cloth. Recased and strengthened in its original binding, retaining the original endpapers. Mild, even soiling to cloth, front board with a vertical crease throughout, some very light archival tissue repairs to some minor tears in some plates, most notably on the last leaf. One of the most innovative illustrated children's books of all-time, with an extremely dynamic design that suits the power of the story, which was adapted into one of the great films of the 20th century. Most copies available have endured a certain amount of abuse, and varying degrees of restoration. In this case, the work was done by one of the world's leading professionals, using entirely archival-grade material, and with as little invasiveness as possible. A sound, sturdy, and pleasing copy of this all-time masterwork of children's literature. Very good.
