hb Bound in green cloth with gilt lettering & in scarce dust jacket Service's first book, originally published as "Songs of a Sourdough" by William Briggs, Toronto, in 1907. This offering bears a copyright date of 1907, but has ads for "Ballads of a Cheechako", which was not published until 1909 (as a companion volume to "Songs of a Sourdough"); hence we conclude that this copy was published prior to World War I, but after 1909. In scarce original dust jacket, with wrap-around art of miner standing on bluff overlooking river valley. Removal of old price sticker has abraded front of jacket. General chipping to edges, with a few small closed tears and several creases. Still in fairly good condition, and scarce in any shape. Old "copper plate" signature to top of p. 11. Board tips sl. bumped; else book is in very good condition.

Mitham, Peter J. ROBERT W. SERVICE, A BIBLIOGRAPHY. New Castle Oak Knoll Press 2000
This first edition is the most comprehensive bibliography of the works of British/Canadian poet-author Robert W. Service (1874-1958). As a young man, Service migrated to north-western Canada from his native Britain. The exuberant people and magnificent scenery of British Columbia and the Yukon filled him with an ebullient enthusiasm which was reflected and captured in his early poetry and his later novels. Beginning with his "Songs of a Sourdough" in 1907 to his "Songs of the High North," published in 1959, Service wrote a prodigious stream of poems and rough, frontier literature. In this well-researched and scholarly bibliography, Peter Mitham has produced a welcomed bibliography of the works of Robert W. Service.
