[Rarebooks] FS: First Issue of Carl Sandburg's CHICAGO POEMS, 1916

[Charles Agvent]

SANDBURG, Carl. CHICAGO POEMS. New York: Henry Holt, 1916. First 
Edition. The first state of Sandburg's first regularly published volume 
of poems, preceded only by a privately printed pamphlet in 1904. Gilt on 
the spine faded but still readable with two very small tears at the head 
of the spine. Offsetting to two pages from an old newspaper clipping. A 
more recent clipping is pasted to most of the front free endpaper with 
some offsetting to the front pastedown which bears the pencil signature 
of Peter Edson dated June 1916. Very Good, lacking the very scarce 
dustwrapper. 		$250.00
