Grow Good Food
by Paul R. Ladd, Jr.

"For over fifty years we have grown our own food.  This is the story of how we do it.  The book is highly personal.  It does not give an account of every possibility.  Rather, it makes recommendations based on our experience."
This book is still in rough draft form: The binding is along the top rather than the side and the pictures are low resolution. But all of the of the content is present. Text and most photographs (of family members working in the garden) by Paul Ladd; cover woodcut by Eva Ladd. There is a higher quality edition in the pipeline which may be available eventually, but in the meantime this book is worth reading in any format.

THE LOST KEY OF OZ
by Leslie Isabelle Frank

Written in 1999 in celebration of the Oz centennial, the author explains:

"When asked how the name 'Oz' originated, Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum often related the story that he happened to glance up and see a filecabinet drawer labeled 'O-Z' and decided to use that for the name of his magical land.  I never quite believed that this explanation was neccesarily the complete truth—it occurred to me that Mr. Baum, when creating his Wizard, may have been loosely inspired by Shelley's Ozymandias The Lost Key of Oz is my attempt to expand on this theory within the confines of the Oz universe."
