Description:
270, [blank], + [1] ad pp. Illustrated by John R. Neill with full-page color, and text illustrations. (8vo) rebound in tan cloth. First Edition, First State.
First edition of the third Oz title. First state with last page listing two titles: The Land of Oz, and John Dough and the Cherub; illustration on p.[221] in color. In this copy, the "O" in "Ozma," line five of the Author's Note on p.11, is present in slightly damaged type; apparently it dropped out at some point of the first press run. Pp. 135-[136], [153]-154,and [221]-222, appear to be original (there was apparently smudging or offset to the coloring of those pages which occurred during printing and stacking of the sheets, and the worst of them were excised and replaced after the books were assembled). Bienvenue & Schmidt, p. 29.
