The Poems of Robert Frost, with an introductory essay, “The Constant Symbol”
Joseph Blumenthal, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1946
Description
Juror Notes
The jury was happy that some moderately priced entries could be selected among the Fifty Books of 1946. Of these there is no more quietly satisfying volume than this handy little pocket edition of 480 pages. The presswork shows variation in color but not serious enough to count this book out considering the conditions of its manufacture.
