Description: I think you are wrong to want a heart. It makes most people unhappy. If you only knew it, you are in luck not to have a heart.Here we offer a very early edition of L Frank Baum's classic, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published by Bobbs-Merrill, Indianapolis. The book is dated with a 1903 copyright, but all of these were produced in the 1920's and 30's, prior to the 1939 movie. This is the fifth edition, second state, with 8 full-page color illustrations and numerous black-and-white illustrations by the iconic Oz illustrator, W.W. Denslow. The title on the title page reads "New" Wizard of Oz, but it is simply a subsequent edition of the same book as the original. The book comes wrapped in the highest quality facsimile of the first edition dust jacket you can only get here, digitally remastered and printed on coated heavyweight bond. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers. Please see the last picture of Judy Garland reading this edition! Typically-worn and lightly-soiled boards (please see pics). Intact endpages bear a period inscription. Binding is very tight and square. A few fingerprints. Bright and crisp text and illustrations. Dust jacket comes sleeved in ph-neutral mylar, ready to slip into your collection. 208 pages. The book measures approximately 7 x 9.5-inches.This delightful book will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a marvelous gift.
