You know outside of E-bay finding Oz books can be a very hard thing to do or so it seems. Well the Memorial Day Hartville Flea Market had a few this time around. A few that I already have in Hardback, they had in paperback but among all his stuff was this lovely hard back book "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum. This edition was published by the Whitman Publishing Compnay in Racine, Wisconsin in 1957 and was beautifully illustrated by Russell H. Schultz.
What I particularly like about the illustrations is they are done in black, white and green. Drawn in a fresh perspective, it brings at least for me a new freshness to the story--not the story needs to be freshened up any. For $10.00 this was my steal of the day.
