The Wonderful Wizard of Oz at the Jaberwocky at the Tannery Mall in Newburyport MA

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Here is the front of the book.

Here is the back of the book.

I found this book in the used book section of the Jabberwocky  Bookshop - located at the Tannery Market Place in Newburyport MA - and it was for sale. 

It was published by Flame Tree Publishing. I think it is neat that they would rather preserve it then adapt it to 'todays sensibilities' since there might be language that might 'offend someone'. I am checking out their site and their other books. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz at their website.
'This beautiful new edition collects together the best of L. Frank Baum’s Oz works, taking material from the very first 1900 publication of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and subsequent novels including Ozma of Oz, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz and The Lost Princess of Oz.'
(copied from the description from their site).

It has a hard cover. It seems rather sturdy. I like the illustrations in it and the size of the print.

I think I got the only copy in the used book section. I didn't check the new book section to see if there was any copies there. 

I will do another blog about it once I have completed reading it. I think I will enjoy reading a classic book / tale as this. 

I love shopping for books at the Jabberwocky Bookshop. They have so many good and great books at good and great prices.  The bookshop itself has an 'old world charm' that I think one rarely - if ever - find at new bookshops. It helps me to shop locally too. 
I couldn't find the whole sign but I got most of it.

Tortola - Fantasy Banknotes

Image
  Currently I am into fantasy banknotes; especially ones with a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them (it would be neat to see some with Lady Di on them but have not found them, yet). I found these on eBay with the search words ' fantasy banknotes ' (some of them were kind of 'revealing').  This one is Tortola . I thought it was made up but it seems it does exist. I don't know if they have their own banknotes but it would be cool if they looked like these. I think these look and feel like current European banknotes. I think they are really well done. I think these are really well done. One can see a really nice picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. It is one of the reasons I got them. The other is that it was reasonably priced; i.e.., I could afford them. I believe this is the front of the banknotes. Here are the back of the banknotes. I think it looks really nice. I think it is very well done.  There are other sites that sell fantasy banknotes. I have a...

Book On George Washington Carver By Tonya Bolden

Image
          I found a book on the life of George Washington Carver  (Wikipedia link). It was not overly detailed but it does talk about his life and accomplishments. I think there are some really nice illustrations and photos in it.           I think it is great for those who want to learn about George Washington Carver but might not have a lot of time to read about him or just have a passing interest in him.           It was an easy read and it was also informative. It could lead someone to read more about him. I have an ebook on him that has more details about his life (subject of another post / blog).          I found it at the Thriftbooks (they have a lot of books at great prices) for a great price (not many left at the site - just click on the link). They have other books  (link on a search using his name) on him too.  Even the back of it is really n...

Barbuda - Fantasy Banknotes

Image
  I think that I might have gotten carried away; especially on fantasy banknotes that have a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. I have found some like this on eBay .  One of these are the Barbuda fantasy banknotes. I think they are really cool looking and look so real; like European ones that they have now. I thought it was a place that didn't exist but it seems that it does; Barbuda . I do not know if they have their own money but it would be cool if it looked like this.  I think it looks really neat. I like how it has a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. It is one of the reasons I got them. I think this is the front of them.  I believe this is the bank of them. It feels like the current banknotes from Europe.  I got them from eBay using the search words ' fantasy banknotes '. There was a lot of fantasy banknotes there (some were rather revealing).  There are websites that carry fantasy banknotes. I have some of them listed in my post ab...
