The publishing company changed from The Rilley and Britton Co. to Reilly and Lee Co., so there are two versions of the book, the 1904 version, and the 1919 version. In the original version the word "marvelous" remains. There is green coloring for the emerald stones, that the scarecrow and tinman are sitting on, as well as the solider on the spine of the book. The pumpkin-headed man is printed in black metal on the back cover for the 1904 version. In the 1919 version, the title is shortened to Land of Oz, and there is no decoration on the back cover.
