Oz books in the papers

658

This is a collection of newspaper clippings showing advertisements for Oz books for sale from booksellers and two full-page articles about the world of Oz. These show what a major phenomenon the Oz books where. 

If you look at the advertisements, the Oz books often feature at the top of lists and include all in the series to date.

A few notes on specifics:

  • One ad shows the books selling at 95 cents a piece.
  • One 1904 article is entitled “A New Wonder Book”
