    Not that it matters with this particular comic, but "loose" is one of those terms that should never be used in a condition description.  Why?  It's a word that can describe either a partially detached item (such as a loose tooth) or a completely detached item (such as a loose dog that's roaming the neighborhood).  When it comes to comics, I prefer the "attached" and "detached" descriptors (for example, securely attached, barely attached, and/or completely detached).  For best results, leave nothing open to interpretation.  (thumbsu

    I agree, the book is currently still on it's way to me, and they were described as "loose" when I had purchased it. So that's just what I went by. But I assume they are detached.

    Kabumpo should have 12 color plates, the first one being a frontispiece.  You showed a color plate in the Scarecrow, that's what I'm talking about.

    I counted 11 color plates, but you did state that the first one is a frontispiece. I'm not quite sure what that is, the book may have it but I'd have to do some research.

    From what I have learned about the Wizard of Oz, the books are quite a bit darker than the movie.

    This is the exact reason I have interest in the books, they seem to be pretty dark considering they were made for kids.

    Alright, I've got to eat, then I'll take a look for you.

    A couple questions:

    Are any of the books Reilly & Britton, or are they all Reilly & Lee?

    Does the Kabumpo in Oz have the color plates?

    Regardless of the answers...

    I'll do my best to answer your first question, I'd have to check on that.

    I honestly know nothing about color plates, or older books in general. SO I wouldn't know how to answer that question. If they are in a specific spot in the book that you know of, I'd be able to check.
