Ordered this edition but received a different edition with a different illustrator that has few pict

I’m bummed because I ordered this edition and the one I received is illustrated by a different person. Still the same story but not with original illustrations. It has very few pictures. I also ordered “Very Good Condition” and it has very bright obvious orange stains. Disappointed and lost my trust for ordering books on here.

This is for the Sandy Creek edition

That edition was published in 2009. It is impossible to buy an 1854 edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz because Frank L. Baum was born in 1856. The book was first published in 1900.
