Anyone interested in a set of the Baum Oz books? I’m pretty sure I’ve got all of them. They’re mass market paperbacks. Most of them are the Del Rey edition, but the copy of The Land of Oz isn’t. It’s got a green cover and so doesn’t match the rest. Taken.

I’ve also got a handful of Great Brain books. I don’t think I can donate them to the school library because they’ve been weeding those out of the collection for the last four or five years (that’s how I ended up with so many duplicates. I forgot what I already had).

Also, anybody local want a paraffin bath? I haven’t touched it since before Cordelia was born, so I can’t be certain that it still works, but it worked then, and I only used it about three times. It’s the right size for a foot or a hand up to the wrist. I’m pretty sure we have some clean paraffin to go with it, but until I open the bin where it’s stored, I can’t be certain, and that bin is shoved to the farthest point under the stairs. If someone’s actually interested, I’ll brave the cobwebs to pull it out.

The Baum Oz books are the first 14, right? Those are the only ones I have; my mom was given a set of the 60s hardback illustrated editions when she was a kid, and she gave them to me when I was old enough to be obsessed. :) One of these days I mean to read the rest of them, but collecting them seems like it's going to be a bit of a pain.

I think those are the first fourteen. I haven't gone through the list to make sure they're all there, but I've got fourteen Oz paperbacks in a stack in the basement.

I own two or three of the Ruth Plumly Thompson Oz books, but I never made a real effort to acquire those (and I don't think they ever came out in mass market paperbacks).

My sister and I had a hardcover copy of The Wizard of Oz that I plan to keep, and that has a copyright date of 1956 in it and lists forty Oz books by five different authors. I know there have been numerous others since.
