I'll have to grab a sample from B&N and see how your formatting is. I'm always curious how others do things vs how I like them.

The Scarecrow of Oz (see link in the previous post) is now on sale for $0.99 at Amazon! Less than two weeks until the opening of the movie Oz the Great and Powerful. Is anyone going to see it on opening day?

#10: Rinkitink in Oz

We're pleased to announce we have published the 10th book in the Wizard of Oz series: Rinkitink in Oz. It includes all of the original illustrations (over 110, some in color) by John R. Neill. DRM-free.


From the Editor’s Preface:

"...Baum had initially written an unpublished fairy tale in 1905 entitled King Rinkitink. The manuscript was tucked away for over a decade until Baum decided in 1916 to repurpose it for one of his annual Oz books, redrafting the ending to bring in characters from the other Oz books to close the story.

Though some readers may consider Rinkitink less of an "Oz" story — almost the entire book takes place outside of Oz, and Oz characters are conveniently brought in at the eleventh hour to end on an Ozzy note — it remains a noteworthy edition to the series. On its own merits, Rinkitink is one of the most inventive and exciting stories Baum ever wrote…"

One note about images – Since our books are DRM-free, you can buy them at either of these 3 stores and convert them (if necessary) to read on any device. However, most of our kindle versions have larger versions of some illustrations. This is because both nook and kobo cut off parts of images that don’t fit the screen, rather than what the kindle does, which is shrinking images to fit the screen. So if you are reading on a basic nook or kobo, we do not recommend buying the Amazon/kindle version. On the other hand, if you are reading on a kindle, or on a large-screen device such as the apps for iPad or PC or a large tablet, we do recommend the kindle version so that you get the larger images.

#11 - The Lost Princess of Oz

It took a while, but the 11th book in the Oz series is now available from Eltanin Publishing:


It includes all of the original illustrations (over 110, some in color) by John R. Neill. DRM-free.

From the Editor’s Preface:
"When L. Frank Baum began drafting The Lost Princess of Oz, he was driven by inspiration that took his writings about Oz in a new direction. Baum credits one of his young readers with the germ that grew into Lost Princess: "I s'pose if Ozma ever got lost, or stolen, ev'rybody in Oz would be dreadful sorry."

With this notion, Baum began to imagine the resulting upheaval and collective search for the fairyland’s beloved ruler. On the surface, this may seem like a straightforward story premise, but at its root this tale would be categorically different. What Baum was embarking on in this Oz book was a mystery…”

We, at Eltanin Publishing, are pleased to announce the release of The Mythomaniacs, an illustrated, middle grade adventure novel by award-winning producer, composer and author Jules Bass.


When a simple trick goes wrong, 15 year-old Gilbert Myrddin, amateur magician and talented illustrator of his father’s original fairy tales, accidentally transforms a group of their readers into characters from his books (and himself into the spitting image of the aged magician Merlin). Struggling to find a way to bring everyone - including himself - back to normal, he embarks upon a wild odyssey through the world of his own fairytales. The boy’s adventurous but unfulfilled quest takes an unexpected turn as he is put on trial for kidnapping and possibly murder.

About the Author
Jules Bass has produced several animated films, including The Hobbit, The Last Unicorn, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, as well as several hit animated television shows such as ThunderCats. Jules has written two children’s books for Barefooot Books: Herb, The Vegetarian Dragon and Cooking With Herb. They have been translated into seven languages and reprinted in paperback. Herb received a “Pick Of The Lists” from American Bookseller, Lifeworks Magazine’s the “Real Life Award,” IRA-CBC “Children’s Choices Award”, “top-of-the-children’s list” at American Book Sellers Association. The London Times called Herb one of the best books of the season. It was short-listed for the Kate Greenaway Award and praised by Paul McCartney as: “A magical read for all new thinkers, young and old…” Herb made his television debut on The Food Network.

Bass' new novel for middle-grade readers from Eltanin Publishing, The Mythomaniacs, takes place in Devon, in the south-west of England, and from there transports the reader into many worlds of fantasy including a quest that leads back to Arthurian times.
