    The book I ordered from this seller was delivered ahead of schedule. It was double-wrapped to ensure no damage in shipping, and it arrived in excellent condition. The condition of this "used" book exceeded the advertised condition. Fantastic seller!

  • Wonderful for OZ Loverz

    This is a beautiful book I was hoping it was going to be more about my favorite film, The Wizard of Oz with Judy Garland, and although this film and all other OZ films are briefly introduces, this book is really about the Entire history and wonder of All things Oz ... It begins with the original creation & takes us on a fact filled journey into the timeless enduring mystique of OZ in our culture. From the first book... Revealing Everything from A to Z.... What a great way to Follow The Yellow Brick Road! I Love It!
