Signed book: Gone with the Wind. First edition, first printing (with "Published May, 1936" on the copyright page, and "1936" on the title page). NY: Macmillan, 1936. Hardcover with second-issue dust jacket (with Gone With the Wind listed at the top of the first column), 6 x 8.75, 1037 pages. Boldly signed in ink on the front free end page, "Margaret Mitchell." Autographic condition: very good to fine, with irregular toning to the signed page. Book condition: VG/VG, with light rubbing, soiling and a few small tears and chips to jacket, a hint of subtle toning to head and tail of spine, and toning to endpapers.

Mitchell became so overwhelmed by the countless requests that she received to autograph copies of her novel that less than a year after its publication she vowed not to sign any more, not even for close friends or relatives. A sought-after copy of this 20th century classic, particularly elusive in uninscribed examples.
