About This Item
New York: Ballantine Books / Del Rey, 1979. Advance Reading Copy. Softcover. Very good. 12mo, 246pp., illustrated. Advance reading copy of this first Ballantine edition. A clean, crisp, unread copy, with a notable crease to the front wrap, thus very good. This copy SIGNED by Ballantine publishers Lester and Judy-Lynn Del Rey on the first leaf with a generic inscription: "Oz is in. Judy-Lynn Del Rey, Lester Del Rey." The interior front wrap contains a printed note to the reader from the Del Reys, which exhorts modern audiences to revisit the classic fantasy series outside of the cultural lens of the 1939 hit movie. Scarce signed by the Del Reys.
Synopsis
Ozma of Oz, published on July 29, 1907, was the third book of L. Frank Baum's Oz series. It was the first in which Baum was clearly intending a series of Oz books.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
