[5] Five printings of _North of Boston_ were called for in its first year, and ten more have been needed since. Its sale has been phenomenal for a book of poetry, and in 1926 it even led the author’s later books, though each of them has been steadily in demand ever since it appeared. _New Hampshire, A Poem with Notes and Grace Notes_, which was issued in 1923, comes next in popularity to _North of Boston_, requiring five large printings. This book won the Pulitzer Prize for that year, while one of the poems included in that volume, namely, _The Witch of Coos_, won the prize offered by _Poetry: A Magazine of Verse_ in 1922. _Mountain Interval_ has also required five printings, and the _Selected Poems_ are now in their fourth printing.

In London _New Hampshire_ has appeared under the imprint of Grant Richards, Ltd., and the _Selected Poems_ under that of William Heinemann.

In addition to their regular editions, a de luxe volume of _North of Boston_, illustrated in line by James Chapin, appeared in 1919, and a de luxe edition of _New Hampshire_, with woodcuts by J. J. Lankes, who also decorated the regular edition, came out in 1923.
