You are looking at a beautiful. Copy of the rare. (May 1936), first edition of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With The Wind. As you’ll see from. I specialize in offering unique and rare editions of Gone with the Wind books – and unlike others, only Gone with the Wind. I have been fortunate to hold a number of signed copies. This is the fifth time I’ve made one available. There are very few copies of the first printing autographed by Margaret Mitchell. The May 1936 printing was a smaller printing batch that actually released in June – so you will sometimes see a’first edition’ with a June 1936 date, or even’reprinted June 1936′. This limited printing of the May 1936 version is known as the official first printing. In a letter dated in February, 1937, Mitchell said she would no longer autograph her book, not even for relatives/friends. She died an untimely death when she was hit by a speeding vehicle in 1949. This is truly the most desired book for Gone With The Wind fans. My hope is that this copy will find a home with someone who appreciates this book as much as my wife and I do. In December 2022 and was nearly identical to this listing (the book dealer previously bought that copy from me). The pages are tightly bound and in very good condition. The binding has had a new cloth spine with the original pasted down (see pictures of spine and top). The clean end papers appear to have come with the new cloth spine. The Christmas decorations / ornaments are not included. If you are interested in other rare Gone With The Wind editions, please check my other postings or message me (I have others available that aren’t posted – but no additional signed copies available). If you need any additional pictures, please just message me. Your satisfaction is important to me. This item is in the category “Books & Magazines\Antiquarian & Collectible”.
