Baum, L. Frank: #19 The Lost King Of Oz HB/No DJ 1st/1st

Publisher: Reilly & Lee, 1925

The copyright on the title page is 1925. There are 10 of the original plates. The plates from pages 46 and 99 are missing. The book binding is the proper color and the "Riley & Lee" appears as expected.

The book is in G or perhaps G+ condition. The binding is shaken. There are scuffs and more on the covers. Some of the plates are loose. There is some spotting and soiling in the book.

The book has 4 square corners. There is no writing or marks in the book.

This is not a remainder, book club or ex-library copy. The binding is straight and tight.

Please note:
  • The picture(s) are of the actual item for sale. (Pictures are NOT stock photos.)
  • If the book has a dust jacket: (1) The dust jacket is protected in a Brodart to ensure that it remains in the best possible condition. (2) The Brodarted dust jacket is not taped to the book. (3) When we take a picture of a book (or make a scan), it may cause a glare on the plastic of the Brodart. This is not a defect in the book or jacket; it is just a reflection off the Brodart.

    • BOOK GRADING GUIDE Because hobbies have different words for describing conditions, I'd like to tell you how I grade the collectibles I sell.
  • Books are graded with the ABA standard in mind. That means books range from G (good) to Fine.
  • I don't use a VFN or any form of Mint to describe a book.
  • A book that is NF (near fine) can also be thought of as almost new.
  • A full list of typical conditions ranges from: G, VG, VG+, VG+/NF, NF, to FN
