About this book
Margaret Mitchell only published one complete novel, but it was quite the book - Gone With the Wind earned her the Pulitzer Prize in 1937 and National Book Award for 1936. The epic romance tale set in and around Atlanta, Georgia during the American Civil War has remained a bestseller, even before the equally popular film starring Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh was made in 1939.

I approached this book with trepidation. Would this be a book that glorified slavery and antebellum life? No, quite the contrary, although it provides rich description of the wealthy class before the Civil War.This book has an excellent story, well told, in which the characters are the symbols of their country. Scarlett is the United States, at first content and lazy with slavery, then hardened by war, and she shifts to be ruthlessly concerned with commerce and moving forward. Ashley is beautiful and pale, and represents the old south, which cannot adapt.You won't find better character development anywhere. This book is extremely well-written. Do yourself a favor and but a nice dusty one, so you can have that authentic feeling.This book is hugely feminist. It also tells a huge story, but is fast-paced, and will keep you locked in to the life of Scarlett.This is a significant book in American literature, but it is not dry. This book is a must-read.Abbey Rheinhartt.

First edition identification
The first edition, first printing of GWTW numbered only 10,000 copies, and they bore an incorrect release date of May, 1936. These inaccurate first printings, and corrected second printing of 25,000 copies, were both actually released to the American public in June 1936. Signed first editions are valued from $10,000-$25,000, depending on the book's condition, of course. The true firsts with the May 1936 date also have the original publisher's price of $3.00 and a "Spring Novels" advert with Gone With the Wind as the second title down as indicators of edition.
