Materials Specific Details
1st edition, tan paperwraps with four petal flower design on front cover. A stunning copy of Frost's first commercial publication, originally published in London by the firm of David Nutt in 1913, predating the first U.S. edition by two years. Noted in the Frost bibliography as Binding D, with the line "Printed in Great Britain" on verso of title page (Crane A2.) Very minimal aging to complete (not torn) covers, else fine and tight. Housed in a custom linen folding case with author, title, and date gold stamped on spine. An overall handsome presentation of Frost's celebrated first book, seldom found in this fine condition.
