Absolutely beautiful. I saw this book at a large thrift market for $35 and looked on this app and found it for under $10 with shipping. Incredible. Great condition. I’ll continue to check this app for overpriced thrifted books at markets!!!
A graphically delightful brief overview of Baum's Oz writings
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Editor Sunshine has provided a wonderful overview volume to the 14 volumes of Oz books written by L. Frank Baum. Each page contains an illustration from the collection of Willard Carroll, many appearing in print in the USA for the first time. So even Oz fanatics like me will find surprises throughout this book. To this graphic delight, Sunshine has selected passages both long and short from Baum's Oz writings that summarize many of the delightful aspects of his fantasy fairyland. Also included are sections called Other Voices where selected commentary on Baum's Oz writings are presented. She calls this collection a whirlwind tour. Between the many illustrations and the large print, this is a quick read, but a very enjoyable one.
Great!

This is a delightful book! As a big Oz fan when I was a child, it was great to see all the characters and stories I grew up with come alive again. There are segments from pretty much all the Baum authored books (not the ones by other authors after his death), and great quotes dealing with all kinds of subjects pertinent to children and adults alike, such as intelligence, courage, etc. As an adult, I really enjoyed reading the "Other Voices" segments, where various people comment on Oz and 'what it means'. My favorite entry is the television summary of the 1939 movie by the Marin Independent Journal (p 72): "Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she meets, then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again." If that is not the ultimate in revisionism, I don't know what is. Entertaining and well worth reading.
All Things Oz is stunning and sweet!

Willard and Linda,"All Things Oz" is just a beautiful book that covers the Oz Gambit. I love how you tied the passages from the books with the lovely rare collectibles. Fans will just be in awe when they see the magnitude of the collection.The companion collectibles will make an elegant gift for the holidays. It is truly museum quality stock, and the recipient will feel like they are writing on stationery from a Four-Star Hotel. It's stunning and sweet!My hat is off to both of you!Bravo!Elaine Willingham
