Beschreibung

4 titles from Award Books, Inc.'s Best Seller Classics (BSC) Series. Little information was available about the company nor the BSC Series. BSC are complete and unabridged reprints of works beyond their copyright protection, bound in brightly colored leatherette, sold at the low price of 50 cents retail each. BSC makes no claims of copyright nor gives any indication of print-runs or editions. This means dates are subjective. I estimate these were published and sold in the 1940s, 1950 as the latest date. At the head of the spine, there is an Award Books catalog number. The titles in this lot are: 1) CL605 The Wizard of OZ by L. Frank Baum. Includes original illustrations by W. W.
