White Edition Oz books

The '''White Edition Oz books''' was a reprint series of the [[Oz books]] by [[Reilly & Lee]] while owned by Contemporary Books.

The series featured white spines and cover borders with new art adaptation by [[Dick Martin]]. These matched the cover design for the fortieth Oz book, ''[[Merry Go Round in Oz]]''. The books were issued in these editions in 1964 and 1965, and were available through the 1970s.

It seems there were plans early on to publish the entire [[Famous Forty]] in this format, however, only the original fourteen books by [[L. Frank Baum]] were issued.

[[Reilly & Lee]] published the books in the same size as their previous editions of the [[Oz books]] in hardcover.

Paperback versions of the books were published by Rand McNally in 1971. ''[[Rinkitink in Oz]]'' and ''[[The Lost Princess of Oz]]'' were not issued as paperbacks. Cheap paperbacks of ''[[Ozma of Oz]]'' (containing some text editing to correct [[Dorothy]]'s speech) and ''[[The Magic of Oz]]'' were issued by Scholastic, based on the white edition versions.

In 1978, Contemporary Books printed their own small-size paperbacks of seven of the [[Oz books]] using the White Edition designs and simplified covers. These bore the publisher's name as '''Contemporary Books''' or '''Regnery'''. These were abandoned when [[Del Rey]] took a license to reprint the [[Oz books]] in paperback.

International versions (with binding variants) were printed in Canada by '''Coles Books''' and in the UK by '''Hutchinson Books''', who only printed four of the books.
