Description: The Road To Oz by L. Frank Baum Illustrated by John R. Neill Up for auction is "The Road To Oz", written by L, Frank Baum, and illustrated by John R. Neill. This 261 page hard-cover book measures approximately 6.75 by 9.125 inches in size. It has green cloth covers, with a full color pictorial paper label on the front cover. The spine is pictorially stamped in black, and there are blank end-papers. However, the end-paper illustrations from "The Giant Horse Of Oz" are printed on the adjacent pages following the front free end-paper, and preceding the back free end-paper. There are numerous black and white illustrations throughout. The book was published by The Copp Clark Co. Limited, of Toronto, Canada, in 1941, and unlike the previous Oz titles issued under the Copp Clark imprint, this printing was actually produced in Canada. Included is the original color pictorial dust jacket. The book is in great, vintage condition, with no missing or torn pages, no writing on any of the pages, and hardly any soiling and wear. All of the pages are toned, which is typical for this edition, as it was printed on poor-grade war-time paper which tones (or oxidizes) to a brittle brown with age. The dust jacket is in great vintage condition as well, with minimal soiling and only a couple of short closed tears that I can see (with none being more than a half inch in length). The dust jacket comes with a clear plastic protective sleeve, which can be removed if desired. At this time and over the next few months I will be selling a number of similar Wizard of Oz books, as well as other items from my Wizard of Oz collection. If this book is of interest to you, please check out these other items as well. Terms: All sales final. Paypal only. I will ship USPS mail. The shipping and handling charges are for the continental United States only. All others must wait for a revised invoice with additional charges for air mail service. Thank you for looking. If you have any questions or would like additional information or pictures, please e-mail me as I would be happy to provide additional details. Please note that all items being sold come from a smoke-free and pet-free home. I am not a professional dealer, and am simply downsizing after years of collecting. I try very hard to accurately list and describe the condition of each item that I sell, and can appreciate the frustration of receiving an item that is not as described. Being human, I will occasionally make a mistake, and may miss a flaw or imperfection that would leave one dissatisfied with their purchase. If this occurs, and you feel that the item you receive is not as described, please contact me immediately. My goal is that each individual who buys from me is happy with their purchase.
