Description: First American edition, duodecimo size, 63 pp. Robert Frost's (1874-1963) first book, "A Boy's Will" is a collection of lyrical, autobiographical poems of Frost's early life; the collection ties thematically with Frost's later work in its descriptions of nature and rural settings. The book takes its title from a line of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "My Lost Youth": "A boy's will is the wind's will / And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts" (n. b., quote from the Poetry Foundation website). ___DESCRIPTION: Full blue linen with gilt rectangle on the front board enclosing the title and author lettered in gilt, gilt lettering and rules on the spine, fore- and bottome edges uncut, publisher's device on title page; duodecimo size (7.75" by 5.25"), pagination: [i-vi] vii-ix [10] 11-63 [64]. With first issue point "Aind" instead of "And" on the last line of page 14.

Robert Frost. A Boy's Will. Henry Holt and Company, New York, 1915.

Price: US$1550.00 + shipping

Description: This is a jacketed, American first edition, first printing of the author’s first published book. This edition saw a first printing of 750 copies in April 1915, one month after the American edition of North of Boston (reversing the publication order of the British first editions). Condition is near fine in a very good dust jacket. The blue cloth binding is square, tight, and beautifully clean, with sharp corners, deep color, and vivid gilt. Trivial wear is confined to spine ends and corners. The contents retain a crisp feel. Second state of the first printing is confirmed by absence of the misspelling in the last line on page 14. An illustrated bookplate is affixed to the front pastedown. Spotting is light, appearing confined to the half-title, title, and dedication pages and the top edge of the text block. The untrimmed fore edges are clean with just a hint of age-toning. Laid in between pages 56 & 57 we found a 23 January 1961 newspaper clipping from The Daily Olympian uncharitably titled "Aging Poet Frost Is Troubled By Sun", regarding Frost’s reading at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy. The newsprint has browned the facing pages in the shape of the folded clipping. The early state jacket features the "75 Cents" price on the spine and front face. Loss is modest, confined to a triangular piece missing at the spine head to a maximum .5 inch (1.27 cm) depth and fractional loss to the corners at the flap folds. The jacket is quite respectably clean, with only mild spine toning and soiling and a few whitish marks along the front flap fold. Old cellotape reinforcement to the upper and lower spine of the jacket verso has been carefully removed and replaced with a single, small piece of archival tape reinforcing the lower rear hinge. The dust jacket is now protected beneath a removable, archival quality clear cover. Iconic American poet and four-time Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Lee Frost (1874-1963), the quintessential poetic voice of New England, was actually born in San Francisco and first published in England. When Frost was eleven, his newly widowed mother moved east to Salem, New Hampshire. Frost swiftly found his poetic voice, infused by New England scenes and sensibilities. Promising as both a student and writer, Frost nonetheless dropped out of both Dartmouth and Harvard, supporting himself and a young family by teaching and farming. Ironically, a 1912 move to England with his wife and children – "the place to be poor and to write poems" – finally catalyzed his recognition as a noteworthy American poet. A Boy’s Will was completed in England and accepted for publication by David Nutt in 1913. "Yeats pronounced the poetry "the best written in America for some time" and Frost received "two extraordinary tributes in the Nation and the Chicago Dial and a superb review in the Academy." (ANB) A convocation of critical recognition, introduction to other writers, and creative energy supported the English publication of Frost’s second book, North of Boston, in 1914, after which "Frost’s reputation as a leading poet had been firmly established in England, and Henry Holt of New York had agreed to publish his books in America." Accolades met his return to America at the end of 1914 and by 1917 a move to Amherst "launched him on the twofold career he would lead for the rest of his life: teaching whatever "subjects" he pleased at a congenial college and "barding around," his term for "saying" poems in a conversational performance." (ANB) By 1924 he had won the first of his eventual four Pulitzer Prizes for poetry (1931, 1937, and 1943). Frost spent the final decade and a half of his life as "the most highly esteemed American poet of the twentieth century" with a host of academic and civic honors to his credit. Two years before his death he became the first poet to read in the program of a U.S. Presidential inauguration (Kennedy, January 1961). Bibliographic reference: Crane A2.1

Loss is minor, confined to the spine ends, flap fold corners, a small spot on the lower left rear face, and a short closed tear at the upper front hinge. The jacket is clean apart from a few small stains to the blank rear face and the numbers "4" and "6" inked below and to the left of the title on the upper front face.

Price: US$1850.00 + shipping

Description: This is a jacketed first American edition, first state, of the author’s first published book. This first American edition was published in a first printing of 750 copies in April 1915, one month after the American edition of North of Boston. The American publication order reversed that of the preceding British publications of 1913 and 1914, respectively. First state is confirmed by the misprint "Aind" on the final line of p. 14, corroborated by white (as opposed to buff) endpapers. (See Crane, A2.1, p.11). Both glassine and printed dust jackets on tan paper have been reported for the first edition. This dust jacket is the earliest of the three states identified by Clymer & Green, with the "75 Cents" price on the spine and front cover and a blank rear cover. Condition of the book is good plus in a good dust jacket. The blue cloth binding is square and tight with bright gilt, but modestly soiled with some mottling at the front cover fore edge and minor wear to extremities. The contents remain clean and free of spotting, but age toned. The sole previous ownership mark is the tiny sticker of a Boston bookseller affixed to the lower front free endpaper. The dust jacket shows only minor chipping to the spine ends and upper rear panel, but suffers a full split at the front hinge and a horizontal closed tear at mid-spine. The jacket spine is toned and scuffed, albeit with all print still clearly legible. The front and rear panels and flaps are clean. The jacket’s front hinge separation is quite unobtrusive with the jacket now protected beneath a removable, archival quality clear cover.

Price: US$2035.00 + shipping

Description: First Edition Thus, Stated Third edition but actually the second printing of the First Edition Printed in America. 8vo, publisher's original blue cloth lettered and ruled in gilt on the spine and lettered in gilt within a double-ruled frame on the upper cover, in the publisher's original dustjacket printed in black on the upper cover and spine. 137 pp. A fine and handsome copy, only the most minor of mellowing to the tips, the jacket unusually well preserved, whole and without chipping, just a bit of wear at the fold lines and extremely minor rubbing to the spine. SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION AND IN THE DUSTWRAPPER. THIS ISSUE WAS ACTUALLY THE FIRST REPRINT OF THE FIRST EDITION PRINTED IN AMERICA. ‘.the absence of the spectacular is the essence of the man and the man’s mind. Truth and its beauty grow more surely from the unfolding of normal life than from any sudden heat of collision. Illumination may sometimes strike through in an unexpected flash, but wisdom is the clear light of steady living.what lies behind the poetry of Robert Frost arises from that deeper level where man engages in the unending struggle to adjust spirit to the world and the world to spirit. It was in NORTH OF BOSTON that he found himself.and in a few quiet poems that follow, the spirit matures. The settings of so many of his poems belong to NORTH OF BOSTON.but the heart of Frost’s poetry is unlimited by place or time.though much of life and its import have tended to come to him.in the garments of country life north of Boston.the substance and meaning of his poetry is human life--moving on, struggling.moving on again.’ The book is vital to his development as a great poet. It remains in all his oeuvre perhaps the most prominent of his books.

Description: A BOY'S WILL, 1st. American edition but not first printing. Inscribed and signed by RobertFrost. Title page is dated 1915 and at the top says "Author of North of Boston.On page 14 the word "Aind" is corrected to "And". on page 62 the word "wich-hazel" is not corrected. The inscription from Robert Frost is "Believing that we have no right to grudge the warlike German his fill of war,signed Robert Frost Franconia,October 1916" At the bottom left side of this page is a tiny sticker "The Old Corner Book Store, Inc. Boston Mass" The binding is solid and in tact but heavy shelf wear. My guess is that it is the first U.S. edition but not the first U.S. printing. This state is further complicated by the fact that "Aind" on page 14 is corrected but not "wich-hazel" on page 62, so I will let the Buyer decide fot him/her self without any guarentee from George's Books & Autographs

FROST, Robert. NORTH OF BOSTON with an AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED and a 14-line MANUSCRIPT FRAGMENT OF "BIRCHES" by Frost. Henry Holt, New York, 1915.

Price: US$31250.00 + shipping

Description: Stated "Third Edition" on the copyright page but actually the Second Edition and the first edition printed in America; Crane A3.2: 1300 copies published. Tipped to the front pastedown is an @50 word AUTOGRAPH LETTER dated 12 May 1923 from South Shaftsbury, Vermont, SIGNED by the author, mentioning this book and how Frost would be happy to sign it if it is sent to his Ann Arbor address. On the first blank is a fourteen-line HOLOGRAPH FRAGMENT of Frost's famous poem "Birches," also SIGNED by the author with the dedication beneath his signature "To Maurice Frink," the same person to whom the letter is addressed. The fragment is the heart of the 59-line poem, first published in 1916 in MOUNTAIN INTERVAL, the book that followed NORTH OF BOSTON. It begins: "So was I once myself a swinger of birches" and concludes "I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree." An absolutely superb example of a holograph poem by Frost in a book, one of the best that we have encountered. The front free endpaper, which has Frink's 1915 markings along with a much later Christmas presentation in another hand, is detached and laid in, which allows the book, when opened, to have the letter facing the poem. Gilt bright, very minor rubbing to the spine tips. The scarce dustwrapper has the correct spelling of "faint" on the front. Some mild chipping to the head of the spine just affecting "North" in the title and slightly extending to both panels. Near Fine in a Very Good dustwrapper
