The Book
John Dough was illustrated by John R. Neill, and published in 1906 by the Reilly & Britton Company. The story was serialized in the Washington Sunday Star and other newspapers from October to December 1906. Like the Oz books but unlike many of the author's other works, John Dough was issued under Baum's name rather than one of his pseudonyms.
The book was popular; as late as 1919 it was selling 1500 copies a year.
The 1974 Dover Publications edition features an introduction by Martin Gardner.
