Description
Chicago: The Reilly & Britton Co, 1905. Binding B.. Very good.. First edition of this rare Land of Oz spin-off, featuring a character from THE MARVELOUS LAND OF OZ (1904) that Baum made the hero of his newest stage musical. Upon the publication of THE MARVELOUS LAND OF OZ, the new character of Professor H.M. Woggle-Bug "became something of a national fad and icon" (Zipes). Just as the theatrical adaptation of THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ met with great success, Baum hoped to capitalize on the popularity of the character by producing a stage musical of MARVELOUS LAND, but named after Woggle-Bug. That same year Baum published this short work, building upon his companion newspaper series, "Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz." The musical flopped, and the book (which relies regularly on racist humor) appears not to have faired much better. Poorly produced, it is infamously difficult to find in any kind of intact condition and has become one of the Oz books most talked about but least seen. 15'' x 11''. Original quarter green cloth, stiff pictorial card wrappers with yellow stipple background and the title in yellow on rear wrapper. Illustrated by Morgan in color throughout. [48] pages. Faint staining and soiling to wrappers, as common; small portion of front bottom corner restored, same corner of title page a little frayed, else internally clean.

Very good plus.
Description
Chicago: The Reilly & Lee Co, 1920. First edition. Very good plus.. First printing of this continuation of the OZ series, Baum's last foray into his magical world published after his death. In his later life, Baum tried to abandon Oz, but deluges of letters from children and incredible sales numbers drew him back to the marvelous land. After the end of WWI, holiday sales of his Oz books skyrocketed, prompting Reilly and Lee to proactively bump up the price of GLINDA OF OZ up to $2.00. GLINDA was in its final edits when Baum passed away in 1919, making it his final Oz title before Ruth Plumly Thompson assumed the mantle of Royal Historian of Oz. This is a particularly bright copy. 9'' x 6.5''. Original green cloth boards with large color pictorial onlay. Color frontispiece with nine color plates and numerous black-and-white illustrations. 280 pages, with type damage on page 150 that places it in the first press run (Bienvenue, 81). Tiny embossed bookseller's stamp to upper corner of front flyleaf. Binding with mild edgewear, light bumping to spine ends; a touch of rubbing to onlay. Leaves with an occasional touch of marginal soil. Tight.
