"While his work is intrinsically as American as the Rockies and the Pentagon, it was in England that his first volumes were published." Both volumes bound in full black cloth with silver titling to the spine. Both with black dust jacket lettered in red and white and with a photograph of Frost on the front panel. Back panel of American edition with publisher's ads, British edition with author blurbs. Wrapper of British edition shows some crinkling to fore-edge of upper panel and a bit of chipping to spine head and corners. A fine copy in a very good jacket. American edition fine in a fine jacket. Both volumes from the collection of W.B. Shubrick Clymer, Frost's first bibliographer. (Crane A41.1 and A41.2).
