You're always so ...I have missed your blogs!!! You're always so positive and I love all the obscure bits of Oziana you share with us. You generously linked to my blog when I was stalled out with personal problems and gave me a much appreciated boost. Thank you!<br />I too had a teacher who read Oz books to the class and turned me into a reader and an Oz fan for life. My first Oz books were new white editions, but the library had the entire set and I vowed to someday own them all. I have some ex library reading copies I love more than the "good stuff" because they take me back to those happy days---like your paperback copy.<br />Merry Christmas!<br />Holly ilexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746233741271710376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930190065426288711.post-5474470705978647862012-12-12T08:38:08.622-08:002012-12-12T08:38:08.622-08:00The companion Avon 1968 edition of THE LAND OF OZ ...The companion Avon 1968 edition of THE LAND OF OZ was the first post-WIZARD book that I read. I wonder if the publisher technically needed Reilly & Lee/Regnery permission to use White Cover edition adapted Denslow and Neill illustrations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930190065426288711.post-42645796164396609372012-12-11T21:29:06.777-08:002012-12-11T21:29:06.777-08:00It's always Good to read your new Blogs, David...It's always Good to read your new Blogs, David! And when you see a book that makes you remember, as I call it, "little days", it is interesting - FLASHBACK!<br /><br /> Nice to see that it had illustrations and wasn't JUST text, though the cover could be a little weird (almost a tiny scary) for some kids.<br /><br />Interesting cover though: Lion is cowering behind his friends but has the gold/green spectacles, Scarecrow also cowers behind Tin Woodman but smiles, while Tin Woodman is all-green and ready to strike . . . and Dorothy and Toto are nowhere to be seen.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397876293747859812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930190065426288711.post-11357935136986682292012-12-11T19:01:50.008-08:002012-12-11T19:01:50.008-08:00Welcome back!
