Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Thus. First printing of the Holiday Edition, published in 1939 as a lighter cheaper format book that could be carried around more easily. The book was first published in the UK in September 1936 in a heavier binding with 1037 pages. ***A very good copy in blue cloth-covered boards with black titles to the spine.

Page block edges clean. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also very good with no inscriptions. There is some wrinkling to the first few pages, due to the very thin paper stock used. Very slight unobtrusive scattered foxing but pages largely clean. No significant creases or tears. No dustwrapper. ***222mm x 145mm. 795 pages. ***'Over 1,500,000 copies sold in America & England.' ***This is a stirring drama of the American Civil War, the destruction of all that had created the idle yet ardent life of the cotton-growing South, the trials and tragedies of reconstruction, and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan. ***Set in Georgia, written by a native Southerner, it portrays as never before the impact of a cataclysmic era on real men and women. Though the Civil War and its consequences provide the sombre and magnificent background, this is not a "war book". ***The main theme is the story of the beautiful, selfish Scarlett O'Hara, who knew every form of fear, frustration, and defeat, but always rose up with confidence of coming victory. ***Seldom in the history of fiction has a writer produced a novel - and surely never a first novel - of anything like this length which sustained such an even level of unquestionable competence, never once showing the least signs of strain or weariness --- All who inhabit these pages are well and clearly drawn' - Time Literary Supplement. (Quote and review quote taken from the dustwrapper of a different copy) ***First printing of the Holiday Edition, published in 1939 in a lighter cheaper format to make it more portable - a nice contemporary pre-war copy of a landmark work. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

Published in the spring of 1936, Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind was an immediate and overwhelming success; millions of copies were sold in its first year alone. By the time the film opened on December 15, 1939, the anticipation and excitement were so great that the city of Atlanta declared the day an official holiday. Since then, more than 300 million people have seen the film and every year hundreds of thousands of copies of the novel are sold in dozens of languages. This lavishly illustrated book is the ultimate behind-the-scenes history of the novel, the film, and the phenomenon of Gone With the Wind. It includes wonderful anecdotes, original quotes from the stars and the directors souvenir programs from the original premiere, many rare never-before published photographs, and more, from the smell of the smoke and the heat of the flames during the filming of the "burning of Atlanta" sequence to the soft touch of the red dust at the location Tara; from the fangue on the faces of cast and crew after grueling months of shooting to the thrill of premiere night, you will experience the unfolding drama as if you were there.
