Baum, L. Frank. THE WIZARD OF OZ (Fine/Near Fine 1939 U. K. Film Edition). Hutchinson, 1939.
Price: US$2250.00 + shipping
Condition: Fine
Description: Baum, L. Frank. THE WIZARD OF OZ. London: Hutchinson, (1939). First U. K. Film Tie-In edition, released in tandem with the 1939 legendary MGM Musical adaptation of L. Frank Baum's children's literature high spot. An oversized volume with a photo cover which still retains its matching wraparound dust jacket. There are eight full-page color stills from the film inserted in the text featuring Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Frank Morgan, and Margaret Hamilton. Many of W. W. Denslow's black & white line illustrations from the original 1900 Wizard Of Oz first edition, some full-page, are also found throughout. The volume is exceedingly Fine, virtually faultless, and the original priced (5/-) dust jacket is very nearly Fine as well (just lightly used, a tiny bit soft at the spine tip, a small flap clip, and with no restoration or repair). In short, an ideal copy of this glamorous large-format Wizard of Oz film Tie-In edition, by far the best example of this delightful and charismatic book that we've seen in decades.
