Signed book: Autant en Emporte Le Vent [Gone with the Wind]. Limited edition “presente edition:” Librairie Gallimard, 1945. Hardcover, 7 x 9, 518 pages. Signed and inscribed on the first free end page of Tome Premier, “For Margaret Baugh With much love, appreciation and thanks-to commemorate 10 years of "G.W.T.W." Margaret Mitchell, Atlanta, Ga. May 9, 1946.” Cracks at hinges and light to moderate water staining to both books, with water staining to edges of signed page, pencil notations to both front pastedowns, and scattered wear and soiling to covers and spines, otherwise very good condition. Both books are encased in a custom burgundy silk faille clamshell case with title stamped in gilt on a black leather label.
When Mitchell wrote Gone With the Wind, she had no idea of the sensation it would become. It was an instant bestseller, selling over 1,000,000 copies within the first six months of its publication and she 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. This edition, given to Margaret Baugh, her secretary, nine years after she officially stopped signing copies of the book is made even more special by the fact that she mentions the title in the inscription and because it was inscribed to someone integral to her writing this epic piece of literature on the 10th anniversary of its completion.
