Dear Christine,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a convolute of five Oz books by Lyman Frank Baum and Ruth Plumly Thompson. All of them are illustrated by John R Neill and published by The Reilly & Lee Co. in Chicago. The included titles are The Land of Oz (1904), Ozma of Oz (1907), The Road to Oz (1909), The Emerald City of Oz (1910), and Kabumpo in Oz (1922) by Ruth Plumly Thompson.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in bad to medium condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 50 to 100 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Gregory
