The Tin Woodman of Oz... An original Oz story ... Illustrations by Dale Ulrey adapted from original drawings by John R. Neill

Chicago: Reilly & Lee Co., n.d., 1955. 9¼" x 7", pp. [8], 3-262, [2]; illustrated throughout in black & white; original pictorial green cloth stamped in black and red; the book is fine but the jacket is worn with shallow chips at spine extremities. "In 1955 Reilly & Lee selected The Tin Woodman of Oz for an experiment in modernization: a new completely reset edition with illustrations by Dale Ulrey was published ... It was not successful, and plans for reillustrating the rest of the Baum Oz titles were abandoned after only two Ulrey-illustrated Oz books were published (the other was The Wizard of Oz, 1956)." See Oziana XII, p. 73-74.
