About This Item
New York: D Appleton And Company, 1894. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. First edition, later inscribed and signed by Stanton to first blank with one of his most famous verses (subsequently featured on his tombstone): "This world that we're a-livin' in / Is mighty hard to beat, / You get a thorn with every rose, / But ain't the roses sweet! Frank L Stanton, Atlanta, Feb 24, 1911". Stock a little toned to page edges, but otherwise all in VG internal order. Three small ink marks against titles in contents list. Endpapers splitting a little at hinges, but all holding firm. Gilt to top edge of block. Decorated green boards well worn, esp to head and foot of dulled spine, and lightly bumped to corners. Nevertheless a charming and unique copy of the future Georgia poet laureate's most significant volume. 12mo. xiv, 217pp + publisher's list.

About Dodman Books
Formerly Journobooks, my original speciality was books about journalism, journalists, newspapers and other media (hence the name) and I still have a good stock of hard-to-find books in that field. Over time I have added a wide and eclectic variety of other collectible volumes alongside a general secondhand stock. I am a collector as well as a seller so know all about the pitfalls of online buying as well as the joys. I will try to make your buying experience as easy and as pleasant as possible.
