The Rand McNally paperbacks were pretty good, though.

I really like the combination of characters - it's so rare to see the Nome KIng and Patchwork Girl in advertising art much less Merry Go Round and Flitter.

I look forward to seeing more.saintfighteraquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195760262262189059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930190065426288711.post-65383877785025516742011-11-16T18:58:23.406-08:002011-11-16T18:58:23.406-08:00Oh Goody!

In the copies I read (property of a neighbor), the front matter of the books had a list of the series. All the titles had only the Baum books, but ROAD had the post-Baum titles as well. I assume that the earlier printings had the complete list, which was then truncated when the publisher decided to limit the reprintings to Baum only.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
