Baum, L. Frank and John R. Neill — Tik-Tok of Oz

Chicago, The Reilly & Lee Co, n.d. Hardcover. Red cloth, with color illus. title plate pasted to front cover; illus. flyleaves; 272 pp. BW drawings. One of the classic Oz books, artistically enhanced by American children's book illustrator John R. Neill (1877-1943), who collaborated on many of Baum's stories. You'll recognize his art when you see it. G (Binding has faded / aged; spine seems to have watermark running along its edge; opening flyleaf has red edges where binding bled into it; the red continues on the bottom edge of about the first 18 pages; otherwise, the pages are crisp and clean, and Neill's illus. are terrific.) .
