The Photographic History of The Civil War

Frank Joslyn Baum's copies, each signed. ("Wizard of Oz" related)

Frank Joslyn Baum was the eldest son of L. Frank Baum and passed away in 1958 at 74. He was a writer, lawyer, soldier, film producer and the first president of The International Wizard of Oz Club.

The Photographic History of The Civil War was edited by Francis Trevelyan Miller and Robert Sampson Lanier.

The books are as follows

Volume 1 -The Opening Battles

Volume 2 -Two Grim Years of War

Volume 3 -The Decisive Battles

Volume 4 -The Cavalry

Volume 5 -Forts and Artillery

Volume 6 -The Navies

Volume 7 -Prisons and Hospitals

Volume 8 -Soldier and Secret Service

Volume 9 -Poetry and Eloquence of Blue and Gray

Volume 10 -Armies and Leaders

These ten volumes published in 1911 by The Review of Reviews in New York, are in good to very good condition, as you can judge by the photos and were the property of the son of L. Frank Baum. Each of the volumes has been signed in the upper left verso of the front free endpaper. I have photographed each signature in each volume. Volume nine has wear and fraying to both spine ends, volume two has wear and fraying to the spine bottom. All in all a good set. I took representative photos...to give an idea of the interior content of these volumes.

Further, about the books; the endpapers are blue with gold top edges. This is the first edition of this epic work and has thousands of scenes photographed from 1861-1865. It has has special text from about 39 knowledgeable people, Pres. Wm. Taft, and officers of both the Confederate and Union Armies. Some of the photos were previously unpublished were from private individuals. The last volume, number ten does not have the "2-Ed" (it has "1-Ed") in the bottom margin of page 323, which makes this volume ten a first issue volume ten. Just an absolutely incredible collection.

The weight of all these ten books is 40 pounds and estimate shipping in the USA at about $100 insured. If less we will refund the difference. If it is more, then it will still be $100. PLEASE NOTE: EBAY ONLY ALLOWS $4 FOR BOOK SHIPPING. THE ADDITIONAL POSTAGE STATED IN THIS DESCRIPTION WILL HAVE TO BE ADDED. THANK YOU. PS: SHIPPING TO EUROPE WILL BE BILLED AT COST IF THIS ITEM SELLS THERE...I am not exactly which shipping service would be the most economical and safest on these heavy books.
