About This Item
Arthur Barker Limited, 1937. 1st Edition. Hardcover. VG+/VG-. 20.5 x 29.1 cm green cloth boards with gilt stamped titles on black spine labels, 143pp including 20 brightly coloured images. The book comes with 5/- net price. A VG+ book, the larger of two versions of the first edition, with fading on the boards where there is loss to the dust jacket. Internally, clean and bright and without names or inscriptions but with very light spotting to the endpapers. There is also a small drip mark of � cm on pp38 and 39. The dust jacket has some significant loss with a 10 � cm x 5cm triangular section missing from the front panel and 1 � cm missing from the spine head and 3 cm from the foot. There is also lesser loss from the spine edge corners a number of closed tears and a little associated creasing. A scarce volume, particularly with a dust jacket in any condition. It is significant because, largely on the basis of this work, Noel Langley was chosen to adapt Frank L Baum's Wizard of Oz for the Cinema. Rainford & Parris Books welcomes enquiries, so please do not hesitate to ask if you require further images or have any questions. All books are packaged with great care.
