First edition of Frost’s final book of poetry. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Robert Frost on the front free endpaper. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket photograph by David H. Rhinelander.
This collection of new poems, published the year prior to Frost’s death, includes “For John F.

Crane A41.
