THE TIN WOODMAN OF OZ ~ L Frank Baum 1918 Hardcover John R. Neill artwork

Description: #12 in the OZ series. This is a gorgeous hardcover with art by John R. Neill; published by Reilly & Lee. I am not completely sure about the publish date but it’s possible this is a First Edition from 1918; no other dates are printed on it. The brown boards are clean with moderate wear considering its age; the color print on front cover is lightly scuffed but the picture and colors still look good; there is an unfortunate small pencil mark just above the illustrator’s name. The spine shows a lot of wear and discoloration and shows breakage – see pics. Pages 26, 30, 36, 83, 107 have a small tear (see pic). There are many b/w pictures and I did not see a single stray mark; no crayon colorings on the pages, or a previous owner’s name. This was apparently “a thing” that children of that era did; I’ve seen many a beautiful book completed covered in childish crayon. I have owned this book since 2010 when I put on a removable mylar cover to protect it. Before me, it had been in a family for at least 40 years.
