1.0 out of 5 stars No Pictures Inside! Disappointed, January 28, 2009

This review is from: The Wizard of Oz (Mary Engelbreit's Classic Library) (Hardcover)

Why would they call this book "Mary Englebriet's Classic Library"? If Mary Englebriet's name is on the book then I expect pictures inside. There are no pictures except the cover which all books have cover pictures so having one picture doesn't make this book any different than the paperback version. How is it possible that someone who is as prolific as Mary Englebriet couldn't even create one single picture for the inside of the book?

This is a really cute cover on this book. I love the Mary Engelbreit art. I was disappointed though that the book did not have more Engelbreit illustrations inside.
The book came with a surprise. A little girls ruby slipper necklace.
