15 vols. 13 of the 15 are the 1st issue throughout, Wizard is a later issue from December 1900, and Marvelous Land has 1 point wrong (rare, despite evasive descriptions), but these are clean and beautiful copies (again, rarely seen like this despite evasive descriptions).?A truly superior set, unlike any other set previously assembled or that could be assembled today. This set has, expectedly, no direct comparable for sale. 2 of the 15 are as fine as any of the copies being offered for sale anywhere and the other 13 are finer than any of the copies being offered for sale. And that should make you say, ?hmmm? and then concede that buying some other set or the flailing after fruitlessly trying to compile your own collection of the 15, makes less sense than dry cleaning a goat. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900): First edition, later issue (though, technically, a later printing) with the publisher's imprint at the base of the spine in red. Conforming to state 2 and binding ?variant C? of Bibliographia Oziana. The spine?s base is slightly frayed, but it?s all there, and it?s otherwise near fine? splendid condition. The Marvelous Land of Oz (1904): First edition, second state of the title page with a copyright (only a few copies are known that escaped the publisher with no copyright, despite some being incorrectly logged in the auction records). A few small points of wear to the extremities, else near fine, one of the finest copies we've seen of this scarce book. Ozma of Oz (1907): First printing, first issue with a color illustration on page 221, first binding with 'Co' after the publisher's name at base of spine. Some very light spotting, else near fine. Scarcely seen in anything approaching this condition. Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz (1908): First printing, first issue with advertisements on the verso of the half-title listing only 3 books and the first binding with The Reilly & Britton Co. in large and small letters at the base of the spine. Front inner paper hinge strengthened and a bookplate on verso of ownership page, else near fine. The Road to Oz (1909): First edition, first printing, first issue with color tinted paper on leaf of ads at the end and no ad for Rinkitink at front. Fine. The Emerald City of Oz (1910): First edition, first printing, with Reilly & Britton at the base of the spine and five ads ending with John Dough. The Patchwork Girl of Oz (1913): First edition, first printing and first state with "C" in "Chapter" overlapping the text on page 35, the first binding in green cloth, not tan, and with Reilly & Britton at the base of the spine. Near fine. Tik-Tok of Oz (1914): First edition, first printing and first state with Reilly & Britton at the base of the spine, and ads ending with Patchwork Girl. Rubbing, primarily to the color surface coating of the cloth, neat gift and ownership inscriptions, else near fine. The Scarecrow of Oz (1915): First edition, first printing with Reilly & Britton at the base of the spine, and ads ending with Scarecrow of Oz. Rinkitink in Oz (1916): First edition, first printing and first state with Reilly & Britton at the base of the spine, and no ads. Fine. The Lost Princess of Oz (1917): First edition, first printing and first state with Reilly & Britton at the base of the spine, and ads ending with Lost Princess. Paper hinges strengthened, rubbing and soiling, else very good. The Tin Woodman of Oz (1918): First edition, first printing with Reilly & Britton at the base of the spine, and ads ending with the Tin Woodman. The Magic of Oz (1919): First edition, first printing with Reilly & Lee at the base of the spine, and ads ending with Tin Woodman. Some spotting and rubbing to the cloth, else very good. Glinda of Oz (1920): First edition, first printing of the last Oz book written entirely by Baum, with Reilly & Lee at the base of the spine, and ads ending with Glinda. Near fine. The Royal Book of Oz (1921): First edition, first printing with Reilly & Lee at the base of the spine,
