The Wizard of Oz Book. Hardcover. 1980. By L. Frank Baum. 220 pages
A Classic!
This cool old copy has been loved, there is some shelf wear, a previous own name written on first page, a kid scribbled on & tore out two blank pages at the rear of the book. There are few tiny stains/ from coffee maybe? Its an as-is copy. Priced accordingly.
It sounds worse than it is because I listed the flaws. But I love wabi sabi vintage items- its authentic, and you know it had a good life so far being read and enjoyed. I would still add it to your collection if you collect wizard of oz books.

"Friend of Dorothy" explaination (History)
Stonewall Inn in YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN. 2019 Taylor performed at the bar to honor the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Riots.
Judy Garland starred in Wizard of Oz and the day she died precipitated the Stonewall Riot. Everyone was in the bar mourning her death and the cops knew Judy was a queer icon & decided easy pickings bc being gay was illegal. So they decided to arrest everyone inside Stonewall.
But instead of an arrest it turned into a Riot and it became a turning point in queer rights or "the hairpin drop heat ‘round the world". And that was the first Pride. (x)
e.g. Elton John used Wizard of Oz as a reference to try to tell people he is gay before formally coming out. (x)
A "friend of Dorothy" is a euphemism for a gay man, first used in LGBT slang, and is more broadly used to describe any LGBTQ person.
The term was likely based on the character Dorothy Gale of the Oz series of novels, which have been interpreted as including much queer subtext.
Character Design
A throwback of “Wizard of Oz” designs based on African folklore and a bit of my imagination:)
A few Wizard of Oz character designs I did for my 3rd year animation class at SVA*… Start of a comic I’ll be working on called Spirits of Oz (working title) based on African folklore take on the classic tale by Lyman Frank Baum.
*This prompt by my animation instructor Mario Menjiver was the genisis of my thesis film Orisha’s Journey
