Customer Reviews

Received a different product than what was advertised.

Was supposed to be set of 5 books, not one giant cartoonish looking item.

Not as shown. ONE volume, close small dense type.

Cheap, yes. Cheaply made.

Good stroies, poor layout.

The paperback version of the Complete Oz does have all the stories listed and the paper & printing quality were good, and for that it gets the 3 stars. The issue with this version is that they didn't put the stories in chronological order at all - stories written in the 1910's appear before one from 1908, and the only way I knew was that some have a short foreward by L Frank Baum! If you're trying to get the whole collection on the cheap, then look up the reading order and write it in the table of contents. If not being able to read it straight from cover to cover annoys you however, get the individual books or the 2-3 book collections

Feels Bootleg, extremely low quality

I love the Oz books, don't get me wrong. But the edition I ended up with ( ISBN 9781548203924) is very low quality. No information printed about the publisher or anything. The blurb from the back has typos in it and is copy/pasted into the front page. The list of books included in the set is poorly typed and some of the titles are incorrect. The printing on the actual pages are just awful, it's like they pirated text files of the book and printed them at the smallest font that was still technically readable. No margins, no chapter headings.

Better than the movies

There's so much more to the Oz books than the movies show. I highly recommend this series for all ages than enjoyed them or even the Alice in Wonderland books.

This is not what I received even though it is what I ordered.

I received a book that has nothing to do with the oz set.
