About This Item
NY: Henry Holt, 1914. Octavo. (144) pp. First edition, second issue, binding "B" of Frost's second regularly published book. One of 150 copies bound from sets of sheets from David Nutt, Frost's English publisher with Holt title page on a cancel stub. This was published on 20 February, 1915, and the supply was quickly exhausted. Nutt's failure to provide more sheets prompted Holt to completely reset the edition in order to stave off the threat of piracy. Small bump to upper rear corner, else a fine, bright copy in drab gray-brown boards backed with brown cloth, with cream paper labels on cover and spine. With the Rockwell Kent-designed bookplate of Frederick B. Adams, Jr. on front pastedown. Housed in a chemise and slipcase. (Crane A3.1).
