A special edition was printed after the book won the Pulitzer Prize with a red band around the front and back covers. The front cover banner read: "Pulitzer Prize Poems: 1930: This edition contains Mr. Frost's complete work to date; including six poems never hitherto published and New Hampshire, for which he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1923." The back cover banner featured a quote from Hugh Walpole: "More sure of immortality than any book published in the last five years." The frontispiece featured a photograph of the author with his signature under it.
