Oz, the Complete Hardcover Collection (Boxed Set): Oz, the Complete Collection, Volume 1; Oz, the Com

Great-looking collection for fans of Baum's books who just want the stories. The text isn't in a microscopic font that's crammed onto the page, as often happens in collected works. Each volume features great, colourful cover art. These volumes don't include the old illustrations from the individual books.

Favourite series in my book collection (that is, for the physical books. Story-wise, it would be the Prydain Chronicles). Stunning artwork on the box. The book covers are vibrant. The spines are absolutely gorgeous, with beautiful use of colouring. Not cheap, but worth every penny for this—the best—hardcover edition of the entire Oz series.

I'm here to more review the books themselves rather than the stories because if you are here I'm sure you know that the Wizard of Oz books are classics and wonderful stories. Okay, so for starters, these books are not illustrated. If you are looking for Wizard of Oz books with pictures, this is not the set to get. None of them have any accompanying pictures. Second, the covers of the books are, in my opinion, wonderful. They have a slightly waxy feel to them rather than a papery feel like normal paperback books. This was a pleasant surprise for me, as I feel like I can grip them better while reading them. And, last really, the only complaint I have is putting all 5 books back into the box is really really hard. They fit so snugly that when you try to put the fifth book back in (whichever one you decide to put in last) it is so airtight that you really have to shove it in there and it just is harder than I think it should be. This could also be in part to the waxy texture of the covers that I mentioned above. But as far as the books go, they are absolutely beautiful books with wonderful, classic stories within them. They look great and feel great. Very happy with this set. Oh, each of the books has three of the 15 stories within it, in case you were wondering about that.

Die Lieferung ging sehr schnell. Der Schuber ist einfach wunderschön, die Cover sehen richtig klasse aus und auch die Buchrücken sehen traumhaft schön aus. Alle 14 OZ Teile von LF Baum in 5 Bücher gepackt. Zusätzlich im letzten Band noch "The Royal Book of Oz" von Ruth Plumly Thompson. Die Bücher liegen wunderbar in der Hand und sind auch nicht so "steif" beim lesen. Wer die Story von OZ noch nicht hat, sollte sich diesen Schuber zulegen.

Produto de muito boa qualidade, bem embalado e entrega antes do prazo previsto. Recomendo a compra.
