Do you want to start the Wizard of OZ book collection? Already own the Wizard of OZ books and want to know what they are worth?

Well, I created a guide that can help and it is already available as e-book or  as soft cover.  I am currently listing on ebay under my ID. If you could not find, just send me a message using ebay contact me.

This guide has up-to-date prices on almost all collectible Wizard of OZ books and serves as the most useful tool whether you are interested in buying or selling!

The guide covers the prices of all Famous Forty Wizard of OZ books from 1st to later editions. Overall, this guide covers over 160 different variations of the same 40 titles.

Although, another source, such as Bibliographia Oziana covers multiple points which identify book edition, my guide not only provides the range of prices depending on the book grading level (Fine, Very Good, Good, Fair and Poor), but also includes in the easy-to-follow table format photos of the front covers, bullets related to each title, position of color plates, edition, and printing years.  In other words, you have in one concise snapshot everything you need to know the value of any Oz book you are interested in!

The Wizard of OZ books series is one of the most complex to analyze for the correctness of edition and pricing. I provided enough information including photos that will help with such identifications. Below are some examples of various advertisement sections, different variations of publisher's name on the spine and photos of 16 and 32 page gatherings.

Many people are overpaying hundreds of dollars for OZ books, mainly due to the lack of price guide and absence of identification of true printing years in almost all OZ books (since most of them only have the original copyright year).

I provided my own prices based on my exclusive dealings with numerous Wizard of OZ books. Over the years, I purchased and sold over 2,000 Wizard of OZ books from various sources. Discrepancies in prices that I encountered are so dramatic that I am asked on the daily basis to give my opinion regarding individual Oz books to folks who contact me through my website RareOzBooks.com .

I am selling this copy on ebay and in my website  rareozbooks.com    Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Did you find this guide helpful? If so, please give me a YES vote at the bottom of the window!
