Chicago: The Reilly & Lee Co, 1918. Reprint. Hardcover. John R. Neill. 287pp. Quarto [24.5 cm] Grayish blue cloth covered boards with a dark blue ink stamped title and vignette on the spine, and an illustrated paper label on the front cover. Good only. The extremities are very rubbed, scratched and stained. The majority of the staining is on the fore edge of the text block and on the rear board (there is a thin 3 inch long dark mark on the rear board). The underlying boards are heavily exposed along the edges. A previous owner has scratched his name into the front board. The spine is rolled and faded. There are several cracks in the front endsheet along the hinge, and the hinges are going. There is a small partial price sticker on the front pastedown, and there is a small abraded area on the ownership page. Browned pages. There are very occasional light stains on the pages. The text block is fragile.

Synopsis

From the book:The Tin Woodman sat on his glittering tin throne in the handsome tin hall of his splendid tin castle in the Winkie Country of the Land of Oz. Beside him, in a chair of woven straw, sat his best friend, the Scarecrow of Oz. At times they spoke to one another of curious things they had seen and strange adventures they had known since first they two had met and become comrades. But at times they were silent, for these things had been talked over many times between them, and they found themselves contented in merely being together, speaking now and then a brief sentence to prove they were wide awake and attentive. But then, these two quaint persons never slept. Why should they sleep, when they never tired?
