Description: Second edition, second state in green boards stating "THE WIZARD OF OZ" with period after Baum, and no orange eye on crow; title page reads differently as "THE NEW WIZARD OF OZ". The exterior boards are in beat-up, poor condition, but both sets of illustrated endpapers are bright and unmarked, (no writing, but a tiny bit of paperlift from a former price sticker) and book is profusely illustrated with drawings and all 16 glossy color plates, so contents are decent. The endpapers were specially created for this 1903 edition by the artist, W. W. Denslow. This copy would benefit greatly from a jacket.

Description: Green publishers cloth with orange and green pastedown illustration covering front cover with title of "The Wizard of Oz", spine printed title of The Wizard of Oz with lions head in center, Bobbs Merrill at base, plain paper endpapers, the whole measure 7.125" wide and 9 1/16" tall1.375" thick. 208 pp with 8 full-color plates and other full-page bw and illustrations. An early printing of the 1903 edition. Copyright page has three entries, the last being 1903. It should be noted that this is the only copy I have found that has a pasted image on the cover which shows the tin-man's hat tip piercing the text box, which makes me believe it to be an early or first printing of this edition style. Good, scuffing to covers, minor threadwear at top and base of spine, inner front hinge paper cleanly broken, cloth firm. Minor wear to tips of boards, minor light staining in two areas of rear cover. Contents tight and clean, original owner created a tiny paper pocket and stapled it to the rear free endpaper and tucked an even small piece of paper inside, like a card pocket. Previous owner has placed a bookplate inside front cover that appears to be late 20s or early 30s in style, of girl and horse, Color is worn off the cloth along the front outer hinge, but no breaks.

Description: Second edition, second state, but the first Bobbs-Merrill printing of Baum's first book in the Oz series, originally published by George M. Hill as "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" in 1900. Square 8vo (8 3/4 x 6 5/8 inches). 259, (2) pp. Color illustrations throughout, including 16 plates. Signed by the author "Very Sincerely Yrs / L. Frank Baum" on a front endpaper. "As the early Bobbs-Merrill printings have substantially the same setting of text as the Hill printings, they are technically part of the same edition. For clarity, however, we have retained the traditional usage 'second edition.' G. Thomas Tanselle whom we cite in the introduction, suggests such printing created from earlier plates but by a new publisher should be considered 'sub-editions.' In which case, this is the first 'sub edition'" (Douglas Greene & Martin and Martin, Haff & David Green "Bibliographia Oziana"; International Wizard of Oz Club, 1988, pp. 28-31). Fine copy in a lovely new binding. In a new design binding: emerald morocco, gilt, the upper cover with an illustration of Dorothy's house being swept up by the tornado (taken from an illustration at the beginning of the first chapter), gilt rules and title between raised bands on the spine, all edges gilt, by the Chelsea Bindery.
