There's an interesting discrepancy in this edition: Peter Glassman writes in the Afterward that Baum finished the book "in Feb. 1918, only three months before his death, and a year and a half before the book was published." The publisher wrote on the inside back cover that Baum died in 1919. Anyway, the series held the attention of my 8-year-old through all 14 books, which took us half the summer vacation to read together. Unfortunately, due to Baum's untimely death, it ends without much of a satisfying wrap-up, probably because he expected to write another. He always said the kids would be after him for more!
