Description: NYC: Holt, 1949. 1st edition[?], inscribed, dated (1953) note affixed to FFE, NF/VG+. Book has some light wear to spine ends, former owner inscription on FFE. DJ has some wear to front corners, wear & light chipping to spine ends, 2 closed tear on lower front corner, 2 closed tear on upper rear panel, closed tear near upper front fold, some soiling on interior of dj. The date (1949) on the title page & the latest date (1949) on the verso, copyright page are the same, so I assume is a first thus, at least. The DJ is not price-clipped ($6.00) and has virtually no color fading. Included is a b & w photo of Frost as a frontispiece; also, contains an index of first lines and an index of titles. Quite a nice copy, would make a special gift.

Frost, Robert. Complete Poems. Henry Holt, New York, 1949.
Price: US$2300.00 + shipping
Description: Thick octavo. First edition, one of 500 copies signed by Frost on a tipped-in leaf. This is copy number 3, which Frost has inscribed to his grandson, Prescott, and his wife Phyllis. This text served as the basis for the Limited Editions Club two-volume edition that appeared the following year, and it stood for many years as the definitive arrangement of Frost's works. Named for his great-grandfather, William Prescott Frost was the son of Frost's only son, Carol, whose suicide in 1940 affected the poet deeply enough that he "assumed considerable financial responsibility" for his grandson and his daughter-in-law (Thompson, Letters of RF, 517). Family association copies of Frost's books appear infrequently on the market. Spine toned and with a few light stains, stray mark on outer margin of title page; overall, a very good copy. (Crane A35.1).
