Chatting Books Online Day 184. Today's recommended book is both a favorite story and a lovely edition. The title is The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum so you know the story and we carry it in several editions which I may tell you about at another time (cloth bound or pop-up anyone?)But the one I want to tell you about today is a very special imitation leather bound edition we have just started carrying. The "leather" (or leather like substance) that it is covered in is a lovely new spring green and just as soft as you might imagine. It is embossed front, back , and spine in dark green with the title in a shiny red. What I love about it is the cover has quotes from the book arranged in different directions as the cover art and there is something very special about the way it is done . You may have seen the imitation leather edition of The Count of Monte Cristo we also carry, if you have seen that one this cover is done in the same manner - both are lovely books.
The book is filled with whimsical illustrations and has the most delightful end papers , they are covered in vibrant red poppies! It is really a lovely edition of an absolute favorite story that is sure to be treasured for a lifetime.
This edition has 200 pages and currently sells for just $14.99 a copy.
To purchase a copy of this book come see us Mondays - Saturdays between 10:00am and 4pm, and Sundays between 11 and 3 at the shop, or you can message me and we can ship a copy directly to you. Take Care , Mask Up and remember There's No Place Like Home !
