Cool listing - love seeing old books with illustrations here.

Awesome books.I love the art style from this time period & wish I could get motivated to be interested in them enough to read & really enjoy them.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.

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.

For those wondering about the crayon, it's in most of the books. It's not random doodles, It's really just colored in images.

Per PM:

Lost Princess of Oz

Scarecrow of Oz

Rinkitink of Oz

Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz

Emerald City of Oz

Tik-Tok of Oz

Magic of Oz

[OtherEric]

Even if @MattTheDuck got all of the possible ones, I'm still curious if any of them were Reilly & Britton.

I think I have to pass on the Kabumpo for now, my budget is too tight after Emerald City Comic Con.  If you still have it in two weeks let me know, though!

So far they've all been Reilly and Lee.

I wouldn't call most of them particularly dark, but they definitely can be a bit darker than the movie.

I pretty much learned to read from them when I was very young, still love them.

Wanted to offer my assistance if people had questions about editions, I've got a copy of Bibliographia Oziana if there were specific things I could help answer.
