Got an Oz fan in your life that's hard to shop for? Here's a book that caught my eye, but it would definitely have to be for the right kind of fan. This is a fascinating interpretation of L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz, that while devoutly loyal to the original text, is both surreal and surprising in its visuals. In this version, the acclaimed collage artist Graham Rawle has created more than one hundred artworks reimagining the famous fairy tale. The Times of London called it "a work of genius," while Nerve described it as "as beautiful as it is demented." Come and decide for yourself which it is -- or maybe it's both! For only $29.95, you can make some fan of Oz and/or art very very happy.
