Om migI have enjoyed reading since I learned to read in first grade. The first book I remember borrowing from the school library was Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. I started buying and collecting books as a teenager and I have never stopped. My reading has, however, slowed down due to love and marriage, hockey, genealogy and family.
I have been a Boston University hockey fan for over two decades and I still enjoy watching the Terriers play, both at home and on the road. In 2005 BU started a women’s varsity program and I have also followed, supported and attended their games since the first one. I am looking forward to the continued improvement of both the men’s and women’s teams and many more seasons of watching and enjoying their games.
I have also been doing genealogical research for over 15 years, mostly on my wife’s family and my family. Of course, it is an impossible task; for every new ancestor you find there are two more to search for. I have yet to find any Mayflower ancestors, but I am not too disappointed, as have numerous ancestors who arrived as early as 1630 or so. I am also a descendant of Martha (Allen) Carrier, who was convicted of being a witch and hanged at Salem, Massachusetts in 1692.

Om mit bibliotekI started reading SF as a young teenager and I have never stopped. SF books make up a large part of my library, but I also have a far amount of fantasy and mystery books. On the non-fiction side I have numerous books on ships, history and warfare, as well as biographies. I also have a large collection of school media guides, NCAA hockey guides, rules books, and college yearbooks in my library that I have obtained over the years to aid in my hockey research. My library also includes a fair number of genealogical books I have bought through the years.

You may know this already but Dave Hendrickson writes Sci Fi in addition to covering Hockey East for USCHO.

I saw you mention in a post over in the Christianity group that you're a descendent of Martha Carrier. Have you heard about a book comingout later this year called The Heretic's Daughter? It's a fictionalized account of Martha Carrier's life as seen through the eyes of her daughter, written by one of her descendents.

I'll send you a note later, and something that I hope somehow reflects my gratitude. Thank you again.

I find the Powys Mather translation more readable and prefer it. I also prefer the Folio's full color illustrations, though I wish there were more--one for every tale would be nice! The Folio volumes are larger and heavier, but they are actually preferable to the Heritage Press for reading as the type is larger, the paper thicker, and each volume thinner than the three very fat Heritage Press books. The Easton Press version is in over 20 volumes which just seems to take up an unwarranted amount of shelf space.

I'm glad you found the info useful, and in turn thank you for the info on the different editions. How absolutely peculiar - THREE different editions? You're right though, that's surreal.
I'd still love to know what executive, in their infinite wisdom, decided it was a great plan to cut two of the books and use spine designs that don't match the books at all. I mean, I can't get a great view of the new spines, but it looks like the Cowardly Lion and the Tin Woodman, at very least, have been adapted from W. W. Denslow's illustrations for Wizard. Unfortunately, John R. Neill - who illustrated all the other books - worked in a very different style. So perhaps it helps to make the set look uniform, but it doesn't match the book interiors, so...yeah, I give up.
That said, the interiors do look beautiful, and going by the eBay listing of the second (I assume) edition they have reproduced the endpapers to DotWiz and ECity exactly, while MLand has no endpapers at all (the original edition had photographic ones). Based on that evidence I would guess they are using the '80s/'90s Books of Wonder facsimile editions after all - which would be confirmed if they all have Glassman afterwords. And those are beautiful editions, so you should be quite happy.
I'd be very curious to know if Wizard turns out to be slightly shorter than the other books. If not, they'll have had to add a slight top and bottom margin to match the height of the others. I believe that's what HarperCollins did when they took over Books of Wonder and immediately set about making the Oz facsimiles "uniform" (most obviously, changing the dust jackets to have uniform spines).

P.S. Can you tell I've obsessed about Oz books for years and years and years? Like, since I was seven years old? ;)
