The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (SIGNED)

BAUM, L. Frank; MOSER, Barry (illustrator).

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

FIRST PRINTING. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1986.

The University of California Press trade edition of Barry Moser's celebrated Pennyroyal Press interpretation of Baum's 1900 classic — signed by Moser on the title page. Square quarto. 268 pp. Sixty-two wood engravings by Barry Moser. Publisher's cloth with leather spine, in the illustrated dust jacket. Fine in a fine dust jacket.

The original Pennyroyal edition, printed by Harold McGrath at Moser's press in West Hatfield, Massachusetts, was a 1985 letterpress folio of 350 signed and numbered copies, the wood engravings hand-printed in five colors; this University of California Press trade issue, published the following year, carried Moser's work to a wider readership with the same appreciation by Justin G. Schiller. Moser gives Dorothy's journey a darkly imaginative treatment that departs entirely from W. W. Denslow's familiar first-edition images.
