>1 wcarter: Great review as always, sadly missed the lottery for this one. How would you say it compares to the Red Thread Coraline?

As always, an exceptional set of photos. The Numbered Edition of 'The Wizard of Oz' was a home run for Richard Tong and Marcelo Anciano, beautifully designed and executed.

They are equally superb.
I have now reviewed several Lyra's Books:-
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens here.
Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde here.
Stardust by Neil Gaiman here.
Coraline by Neil Gaiman here.
