At a guess "The Wizard of Oz" is copyrighted by some fairly hefty people that wouldn't like to see copies of the story floating around unless they got paid for each copy! I'm not even sure they would accept a single "private use" copy. So, i think this list has to officially assume that you were just using that name as an example to give us a rough idea of the sort of size project you are dealing with;)
While I can't say about Wiz of Oz, books eventually fall out of copyright. Since it was first published in 1900, it's likely the copyright on the original story has long since expired. However, publishers may have copyrights on their book version, but not the basic story.
BTW, I just checked the Project Gutenberg site and found a few versions of this story. Project Gutenberg has a lot of books that are out of copyright or never were copyright. Here's what that site says:
"The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
