About This Item
London: Jonathan Cape, 1926. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Fair. 12mo. First UK edition of poetry "most representative of the new America, the America of smoke and steel, of wide prairie land and rolling cornfields". Toning and a little foxing to endpapers, but otherwise all in VG internal order. Smart dark orange cloth, dulled to edges, with gilt titling to spine. Fair unclipped d/j, worn to edges and rather grubby. Don't let that put you off though! If you are new to Sandburg he is an excellent discovery, and this collection edited and with a preface by Rebecca West, is a very good place to start. 12mo. 287pp

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.
