The Craig Noble collection of L. Frank Baum & the Wizard of Oz represents the culmination of a lifelong passion. The books offered include: first printings of virtually every Oz and Baum book, many in first printing dust jackets; an incredible variety of variants and later printings; a copy of the scarce Sam Steele’s Adventures in Panama with an even scarcer inscription to Baum’s brother Harry using his pseudonym Hugh Fitzgerald; a first edition of The Art of Decorating Dry Goods Windows and Interiors, which is Baum’s scarcest book after The Book of Hamburgs.
