Collection of 12 of the 14 OZ series books from the early 1900's. These books are in great condition for their age. 3 of the books are 1st editions(Glinda, The Royal Book, and Magic) The Road to Oz is 1st edition, but not the 1st printing. I believe Ozma is also 1st edition. The Ozma book cover is not attached, but as you can see from the photos, I have it. Again these books are in great condition for their age, color plates are very vibrant, a couple of the books have belongs to written in pencil. There is no coloring in any of the books. A few have check marks next to titles the owner had in the Famous Oz Books list.
