I remember finding WIZARD in a used book shop sometime in the mid 90's for $5, but by the time I was looking seriously to complete my set a few years ago, I saw copies of PG as high as ten or twelve times that, as well as being few and far between compared to other titles in the series. I think it's one of Baum's best, and I wonder if Scraps' appealing personality had anything to do with the comparative rarity of her book.AMWisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595022423888044915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930190065426288711.post-10902974809630379022012-01-25T16:23:46.827-08:002012-01-25T16:23:46.827-08:00Thanks Patrick - I have plans to discuss the boxed...Thanks Patrick - I have plans to discuss the boxed set in an upcoming blog.David Maxinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12672089188117065118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930190065426288711.post-89207790137254653592012-01-25T09:16:56.070-08:002012-01-25T09:16:56.070-08:00I remember seeing a boxed set of the White Edition...I remember seeing a boxed set of the White Editions in a major bookstore sometime in the mid 70s.

I never saw them in any store until about 1975 or 1975 when they showed up at the best toystore in Albuquerque (called Toys by Roy) and then at the cities first B. Dalton in Winrock Shopping Center.<br /><br />However, after word went out that they were being put out of print in favor of the little paperbacks I started seeing them all over the place - not remaindered, but full price $8.95. It may also have been that we got a lot of independent bookstores in Albuquerque in the late 1970s. Who knows. I also saw them at F. A. O. Schwartz in New York City in 1979.David Maxinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12672089188117065118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930190065426288711.post-29111473584855715402012-01-20T23:37:30.952-08:002012-01-20T23:37:30.952-08:00Very nice compare and contrast…the Patchwork Girl ...Very nice compare and contrast…the Patchwork Girl was my favorite…followed by Handy Mandy!Natalie Graynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930190065426288711.post-19103101068935992722012-01-19T09:52:03.107-08:002012-01-19T09:52:03.107-08:00What an improvement!
