Description: Most people know about OZ from the 1939 MGM classic movie, starring Judy Garland. But the true story of OZ started with the first book, THE WIZARD OF OZ, by L. Frank Baum, published in 1900. He wrote thirteen more books in the series until his death in 1919. The series was then continued by a number of other people. The first book has had hundreds of different editions, whether unabridged or adapted; either with the original art of W.W. Denslow or with other illustrators giving it a fresh visual interpretation. THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ written by L. FRANK BAUM illustrated by Michael Sieben Sieben certainly brings a very 21st century vibe to this version of Oz. It seems aimed more at general Oz collectors and graphic design folks than children. (It's the eyes - check out the photos - they are a tad creepy.) That being said, it is a very nicely designed book - with page edges changes colors as the characters move to new locations. There are over 50 full color illustrations. This was bought used, but is in very good condition. I take excellent care of my books in my smoke-free environment. Notes on condition: dust jacket: tiny tear top edge of back cover at spine; slight dirt on small light-colored areas of back cover; otherwise good cover: orange boards clean & crisp; slight bumping at outside corners; slight rubbing top and bottom spine corners and outside corners; embossed image in black ink on front of "heart, brains & courage" interior pages: glossy paper very clean & crisp, no marks or tears sewn binding: all pages secure Please see photos to get a sense of the nice condition and unusual art.

Books can easily be combined and pack well together. Media mail is a very affordable rate offered by the USPS. Cost is based solely on weight and does not vary with distance. If buying multiple books, please put them in your cart and then "request total from seller". I will then send you an invoice with an adjusted shipping cost. However, I have been told that if you are ordering from a phone, it may not be possible to request such a total. If that is your situation, please go ahead and pay the shipping as billed.
