The Lost King of Oz

The 5th book in the Oz series written by Ruth Plumly Thompson carrying on the tradition of the original 14 stories by L. Frank Baum, maintaining the lovely illustrations (endpapers & internals) by artist John R. Neill. Orig. published in 1925, this is a FIRST EDITION, but later printing, since the illustrations are now rendered in black-and-white vs the original color.

Hardcover book is in VG+ condition: very bright & clean, binding straight & strong, both hinges secure. Slight rubbing to extremities & bumping to corners/spine tips, with slight cloth loss to outer-lower corners. Pages creamy white, with modest tanning, but completely unmarked; ownership box is blank.
