Baum, L. Frank: The Emerald City of Oz (1920 printing) HB/No DJ 1st/Early

Publisher: Reilly & Lee, 1910

The copyright on the title page is 1910. This is a 1920 edition (4th?) because the book lists to Glenda and includes 12 color plates.

The book is in G/VG condition. The binding is tight but there's some staining on the covers and there appears to be minor water stains on the bottom edge. The spine is partialy detatched on the edge which meets the back cover.

There is a name penciled in the "This Book Belongs To" box.

The book has 4 square corners and other than noted, there is no writing or marks in the book.

This is not a remainder, book club or ex-library copy. The binding is straight and tight.

    • BOOK GRADING GUIDE Because hobbies have different words for describing conditions, I'd like to tell you how I grade the collectibles I sell.
  • Books are graded with the ABA standard in mind. That means books range from G (good) to Fine.
  • I don't use a VFN or any form of Mint to describe a book.
  • A book that is NF (near fine) can also be thought of as almost new.
  • A full list of typical conditions ranges from: G, VG, VG+, VG+/NF, NF, to FN
