Condition VG+, slim 12mo., unpaginated, This copy #171 of a limited 300, signed by Frost on the limitation page. Blue cloth covers with cover and spine titles in gold. A charming little book made out of Frost's poem "How Hard it is to Keep from Being King, When it's in You and in the Situation," Frost's humorous blank verse narrative about the a fictionalized king Darious absconding the throne and his surprising actions in the aftermath. The book's spine and top edges are somewhat sunned, and the spine also is slightly cocked at the top, but otherwise the book is near fine, clean and clear and bright, with a couple of erased pencil notations on the pastedowns. The glassine dj, numbered in pencil to match the book's #, is browned on the spine and flap edges, with a couple small tears on the spine also, but is complete with only a very small chip on one cover. A nice copy of a rare Frost artifact. And with the dollar failing, what better to invest in than beautiful literary artifacts you can hold in hand and enjoy?

1935.18 CAD
First Edition. In the publisher's original green cloth with gold and black stamping; top edge in blue. Dust jacket is unclipped, protected in mylar, with minor wear at the heal and foot of the spine and some foxing on the fold of the flap. Overall very solid. pp. 642 Inscribed and signed on the front endpaper: "Sarah Day Faris from Robert Frost / South Miami, Florida February 23 1951" At the time of this inscription, Frost wintered in South Miami at his longtime Florida home, Pencil Pines. Beneath the signature is the faint outline of a removed tape and label; the name Sarah Day Faris is still lightly visible in block letters. Sarah may have been a young fan-or a member of a household that admired Frost's poetry-when she received this personal inscription. On the last endpaper is a pasted clipping of a Frost poem, possibly saved by Sarah or someone in her family, adding a charming, personal touch to this copy. As one can see a much cherished copy.

Wood engravings by Leonard Baskin. One of 650 copies printed specifically for Frost (of a total print run of 8,290).

This is the title used for the poem when it was published in 1962's The Clearing.

[Signed] [First Edition] Seasoned Timber (inscribed to Robert Frost) Fisher, Dorothy Canfield [Robert Frost] [Used - Very good] [Hardcover]
4310.18 CAD
An excellent association copy, inscribed on the front free end paper: "To Robert [Frost], with every good wish, Dorothy." Uncommon signed. Fisher was a best-selling author of dozens of books, a social activist, and an educational reformer known for helping to establish Montessori in America. Eleanor Roosevelt called her one of the ten most influential women in America. See also this this article on her in The New Yorker from 2023 reasserting her importance. Robert Frost was her longtime neighbor and friend in Vermont, and their connection runs deep as this essay in The Robert Frost Review (about a letter he wrote to Fisher) describes. Fisher encouraged Henry Holt to publish North of Boston and she even first showed Frost the house that he bought in South Shaftsbury a short distance from her. Their families were close, and upon her death Frost hailed her as "the great lady of Vermont." Seasoned Timber was Fisher's final novel and it tells the story of fascism rising in small town Vermont, as a beleaguered secondary school is given an enormous gift on exclusionary terms and the town must wrestle with it. It was written as World War II was about to begin. Red cloth with gilt lettering on spine; a very good copy with a sunned spine, lacking a dust jacket. A spectacular association, perhaps a novel that is again timely, and Fisher's deserved recognition continues to increase.

735.18 CAD
This first, limited, numbered, and signed edition collection of Robert Frost's poems was, per the limitation statement, published to coincide "with the celebration of the author's eightieth birthday." The 650 copies were each hand-numbered and signed by Frost. This is copy "252", numbered thus on the limitation page and signed "Robert Frost". This copy is particularly noteworthy both for condition and provenance. Condition is truly fine in the publisher's original slipcase. The green linen cloth binding is square, clean, bright, tight, and sharp cornered, with no appreciable wear, soiling, or toning. The contents are immaculately clean, with no spotting, soiling, or previous ownership marks. The publisher's slipcase is complete and fully intact, with only the mildest superficial wear and some spotting to the printed paper spine label.Laid into this copy we found a printed slip declaring that this book is "FROM THE ROBERT FROST COLLECTION OF W. B. Shubrick Clymer." William Branford Shubrick Clymer (1906-1972) received undergraduate and graduate degrees from Harvard, served as a personnel manager of the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Company, and served, after retirement, in the New Hampshire State Legislature. He also was a book collector who, along with librarian Charles R. Green, compiled the first comprehensive bibliography of Robert Frost's works. Robert Frost: A Bibliography was published in 1937 and remains a valuable Frost reference today.The 66 poems herein were selected by Frost, who also contributed a reminiscence, titled "The Prerequisites", as a preface. The edition is quite handsome, the binding in heavy gray-green linen cloth with the weave pattern clearly visible as green and white threads. Inset, gilt-bordered, dark green panels - one on the front cover and two on the spine - feature the title, author, and publisher. The contents are printed on cream, wove paper, bound with yellow and green head and tail bands and blue-green laid paper endpapers. The board slipcase is covered with blue-green paper and features a white paper spine label printed in blue-green with a blue-green rule frame and a leaf ornament between the title and author's name.By his eightieth birthday on 26 March, 1954, when Aforesaid was published, the stature of Robert Frost (1874-1963) had risen to an apex arguably unequalled by any American poet since. Frost had long-since won all of his still-unrivaled four Pulitzer Prizes for poetry (1924, 1931, 1937, and 1943). He spent the final decade and a half of his life as "the most highly esteemed American poet of the twentieth century" with an accumulating hoard of academic and civic honors. Two years before his death he became the first poet to read in the program of a U.S. Presidential inauguration (Kennedy, January 1961).
