Frost, Robert (1874-1963) North of Boston, Signed Presentation Copy with Manuscript Poem. New York: Henry Holt & Co., 1929. Octavo, later imprint, with a transcription in Frost's hand of a section of his poem, "The Wood Pile," ten lines, signed and presented to Naomi Chappell, all on ffep, in publisher's green spine and matching paper boards, title in gilt on front board and spine, 8 3/4 x 5 3/4 in. I thought that only Someone who lived in turning to fresh tasks Could so forget his handiwork on which He spent himself, the labor of his axe, And leave it there far from a useful fireplace To warm the frozen swamp as best it could With the slow smokeless burning of decay.
