Description:
The Reilly & Lee Co., 1928. Hardcover. Good Plus. John R. Neill. SECOND printing, but ANOMALOUS. Many of the first edition points: Quiberon misspelled as Oniberon on frontis; pp. 126-127 transposed; the "r" in the word "morning" (p. 116, line 1), unbroken, but, curiously, unlike every other "r" in the book, rests on a curled foot; black and white endpapers; smooth-backed plates. An EXTRA SIGNATURE sewn into book: pp. 193 to 208 repeats, including the color plate. No doubt as a result, the binding was compromised; the back is broken, but fully intact. Paul Bienvenue, who compiled the authoritative bibliography of L. Frank Baum and Oz books, has examined this copy and written (see copy of laid-in letter, at rear): ". "...I received the oddball Giant Horse of Oz yesterday, and have found it very useful in clarifying how the first and second printings should be classified. It has shown me that the current points we… Read More
