This little book tells all about those productions and includes reproductions of posters, stagebills, etc. Also included is a complete checklist of all of Baum's works.

Soft cover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Limited First Edition. Limited to 500 copies. (not numbered) Inscribed by co-author Martin to Manny Weltman, who himself in 1963 published another Baum musical play not included in this publication. AS IS. The text block is separated from the cardboard cover. The text block is bound with binding thread like a standard book signature, but how it was originally fastened to the cardboard cover is a mystery to this bookseller. The dust jacket wrapped around the cardboard is in very good, almost near fine condition with just a trace of edge wear. Toning to paper, cardboard and dust jacket. No jacket chips. This book reproduces three plays by Baum: Maid of Athens;King of Gee Whiz and Pipes of Pan. It also has a bibliography of Baum which no doubt has been superceded by many later works. Inscribed by Author(s).
