About this Item
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?. Seller Inventory # 400
