Sobre IBD

This early work by Pulitzer Prize winner Carl Sandburg is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains a large collection of his poetical works and is thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in the history of American poetry. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
