Book Reviews of The Annotated Wizard of Oz (Centennial Edition)

Book Review: "...OH MY, YES!" a timeless classic, beautifully presented
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the most beautiful presentation of any children's classic that I have ever seen in my 59 years (and I was in publishing for 42 of them).

No photograph can begin to show you how truly beautiful this grand old story's presentation here is. And, the annotations certainly add to a youngster's enjoyment. And, I would dare say, that by showing a child that there is further information here, that there is, too, for other books, etc., and encourages them to search further about a lot of things.

Everything about this book is simply wonderful. High quality throughout, deluxe binding, beautifully presented outside and inside both. There is no way a child would not be delighted and entertained many times over with this truly beautiful volume.

And, by the way, it is NOT just for Little Kids, some of Us Bigger Kids have purchased a copy for Ourselves, also! "OH MY!" ~operabruin
