Frost, Robert. A SERMON BY ROBERT FROST. Spoken on the First Day of the Feast of Tabernacles at the Rockdale Avenue Temple, Cincinnati, Ohio, Thursday Morning, October 10, 1946. Spiral Press, New York, 1947.

Price: US$220.00 + shipping

Description: Red stapled wrappers and gray paper label; thin 8vo. One of a reported 500 copies printed for Dr. Victor E. Reichart. Reichart was the Rabbi at the temple; he had Frost's unplanned talk recorded, this publication taken from that recording without the poet's authorization. The uncorrected issue with "worry" on p. 14, not over-struck and changed to "mercy" (as in the Barrett copy), as noted in Crane A33. Near fine, one corner turned (actually a printer error, paper not cut) with very light creasing. Uncommon.
