It started with a question. How many books related to Oz exist? With the rise of the internet, it appeared logical that I could locate this information without difficulty. After dedicating several hours to searching for a straightforward list of books containing the word Oz in their titles, I gathered a wealth of information, yet it was dispersed across numerous websites. I was astonished to discover that there was no single authoritative source for bibliographical information available.

In this endeavor, I have sought to create a comprehensive list of all the works authored by L. Frank Baum, as well as those related to him in various capacities. This includes both Oz and non-Oz literature, works by enthusiasts, biographies of Baum, analyses of the MGM film, and texts inspired by the philosophies presented in his writings, among others...

A list of this nature can never be fully exhaustive; however, I have dedicated over twenty years to gathering this information. I invite anyone who possesses knowledge of books I might not be familiar with, as well as any photographs I may lack, to share that information with me. Naturally, any corrections are greatly appreciated. It is my aspiration that this compilation serves as a resource for research and study, while also honoring the brilliance of L. Frank Baum.

Ozzily yours,
