Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Geo M. Hill, 1st edition, 1st state. B binding. Signed by Frank Baum
Geo Hill Publisher. Wonderful Wizard of OZ. "B" - Binding. 1st edition / 1st state with 24 color plates.
All Points for the 1st edition, 1st state from Oziana.
Suggested value of this book from 2011 Collected Books: The Guide to Identification and Values by Allen Ahearn price this edition at $90,000 as an "A" and second state copies at $35,000. Since this is 1st state copy it is value somewhere between 35,000 and 90,000. In my opinion copies of the "B" binding value around $70,000. Taking into consideration that this book is an excellent condition and is signed by Frank Baum makes this copy very desirable.
Signed copy of the second state sold for $120,000 in the past ( see my newspaper article about price realized at auctions)
