Fine in Near Fine- Dust Jacket. A very nice smart copy, the book itself
is mostly clean and solid with just a hint of age-toning, and a former
owner signature on the front end-paper. The dust jacket is all there,
slit to top back edge, smudges to lower bottom edge and upper right-hand
corner, and a tiny nick to corner with typical toning to the back,
common with books printed prior to circa 1970. Still overall a very
clean presentable copy, for about half the price of a perfect copy which

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn Hardcover First Edition - First Printing Crown 2012. number-line down to "1" on copyright page and $25.00 cover price. Very Good+ in Fine Dust Jacket. A really nice copy of the first printing, with the following shortcomings: about 5 pages in the middle have the remnants of having been damp at some point, slightly wavy, and there's a small hint of a blemish to the bottom of the text block edge, else a really nice copy with straight corners etc. Would work perfectly as a nice first edition reading copy, hence the price. In near perfect condition, many dealers are already asking $100+ for this book in the first printing.NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.

The Emerald City of Oz
(sixth Oz book, and the fourth to feature Dorothy) by L. Frank Baum
(author of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the Land of Oz, etc) Hardcover
Facsimile First Edition Reilly & Britton/Charles Winthrope &
Sons 1910/2011. Illustrated by John R. Neill. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. Essentially a brand new copy still in original shrink-wrap. Edition Information:
The first edition of The Emerald City of Oz was published originally in
1910 by Reilly & Britton and later reprinted by Reilly & Lee.
This is the first facsimile ever issued of this title. True first
edition copies of the original Oz books are among the most highly
sought-after examples in children's literature, and most near fine or
better copies are priced at $2000+ This is a wonderful alternative to
experience how the original first edition appeared for a fraction of the
price. (I own a complete set of these facsimiles in my own collection.)
It should be noted that the Reilly & Lee editions of most of the
original… Read More
