Item History & Price
Author: Robert FrostTitle: New HampshirePublisher: Henry Holt and Company - New YorkEdition: 1923 First Printing
"Anything I can say about New Hampshire Will serve almost as well about Vermont, Excepting that they differ in their mountains. The Vermont mountains stretch extended straight; New Hampshire mountains Curl up in a coil". Robert Frost 1923
Description: A fine copy of the first edition, first printing of the book that won Robert Frost his first Pulit...zer Prize, lacking the rare dust wrapper. A presentation copy signed by Frost to Novelist and short story writer Joseph Stanley Pennell on one of Pennell's bookplates affixed to the front endpaper; "To Joseph Stanley Pennell from Robert Frost". This U.S. first edition was published in October 1923. A beautiful copy, bound in quarter dark green linen cloth over dark green paper-covered boards, with a gold paper label on the front cover illustrated and printed in black, and gilt print and decoration on the spine. Four wood cuts by J. J. Lankes. The original publisher's binding is seldom seen in this condition, square and tight, with sharp corners, a few stray finger smudges to the paper boards and a small bump to the rear board. This early Frost collection includes the title-poem, and more than 35 others including "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening". -------------------------------
