The Wonderful World of Oz Reviews

I can vouch for this handsome hardcover...written by noted Oz/Garland expert John Fricke...You'll marvel at [the] pictures...from the world-class collection of Willard Carroll and Tom Wilhite. What a treat to see so much dazzling memorabilia gathered in one place. * Leonard Maltin's Movie Crazy *
