2009 GOLD MEDAL WINNER FOR BEST REFERENCE BOOK by the Independent Publisher Book Awards (the 13th Annual 'IPPYs')This definitive identification guide examines all of Baum s published book-length works (Oz, non-Oz, and pseudonymous) with unprecedented simplicity and clarity. The Oz books of his five official successors are included as well, plus other important related volumes, covering over 150 titles in toto! Essays introduce each book, discussing its history and including such supporting information as excerpts from Baum's letters, contemporary critical reviews, and original advertising and related ephemera. Historical photographs, rare artifacts, and original artwork are reproduced to help place the books in the context of their times. Starting with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), the Guide shows in simple steps how to prioritize the astounding number of editions, printings, states, and variants for each title, with special emphasis on ease of use. Complicated technical points are simplified with easy-to-understand diagrams. The authors have been granted unlimited access to some of the finest private and institutional collections in the United States. As a result, full-color photographs are provided for the covers of every major variant, as well as many of the rare original dust jackets. Some of these books are known by only a very few surviving copies. All major printings are characterized by changes in color plate locations, typography, advertisements, and other tell-tale points, not just first editions; many variants are described for the first time anywhere. The Guide includes over 420 photographs, illustrations, and diagrams, including nearly 350 photographs in full color. Binding and manufacture are of the highest quality: art-book grade coated paper, linen-covered boards and round-backed spine stamped in gilt, reinforced sewing for extra strength, full-color French-fold dust jacket on laminated stock. Far from a dry, academic list, The Book Collector's Guide to L. Frank Baum and Oz is an engaging, demystifying, and entertaining look at the legacy of America's premier children's author.

Could you sue in England if you made a contract with someone overseas, or if you had an accident overseas? If you were to sue in England in one of these cases, which country's laws would be applied? Would you have anything to worry about if you were sued overseas but didn't intend to go back to the country concerned? Could you take steps in England to stop someone suing you overseas? The Conflict of Laws provides a complete yet accessible survey of English private international law. It examines the jurisdiction of English courts (and whether their judgments are enforced and recognized across Europe) and the effect of foreign judgments in England. It looks at the principles of choice of law for cases which have an international element, for example contracts made or performed in other jurisdictions or with other parties, torts committed overseas or by foreign parties, international fraud, dealings with property overseas, and family and personal matters (particularly marriage, divorce, and annulment

John Vanbrugh (1664-1726), one of the principal Restoration dramatists, is best known for comedies that capture the hilarious idiosyncrasies and unique subject matter of marital discord. This collection contains five of his most rollicking comedies on marital disharmony, edited to the high standard of the Oxford English Drama series in modernized spelling and including full notes and glossary. In addition to his most famous plays, The Relapse and The Provoked Wife, the collection also includes The Confederacy, A Journey to London, and The Country House. There is a critical introduction, wide-ranging annotation, and an informative bibliography which together illuminate the plays' cultural context and theatrical potential. The only selection of Vanbrugh's plays currently in print, this book is ideal for readers, performers and students alike.

The year is 542. While plague stalks Constantinople, an angel sets John the Eunuch on the trail of a human killer.Peter, John's elderly servant, claims a heavenly visitor revealed a murder to him. It transpires Peter's old army friend has indeed been stabbed, but then John discovers that Gregory was not what he appeared to be.Is the solution to the mystery to be found in a hidden identity, in the will made by a dying ship owner with a wayward son, or perhaps even amid the oracles in the merchant's garden?John's quest leads him to churchmen and whores, lawyers and bear trainers. Suspects include a dealer in dubious antiquities, a resourceful bookseller, a court poet fixated on bereavement, and a holy fool who outrages the city by dancing with the dead and invading the empress' private bath.Only a man of unbending principle could hope to find justice in a terrified city where the good and the bad are struck down indiscriminately, where disorder rules, and where witnesses may die before they can be questioned. A city, in short, where death is the murderer's accomplice.
