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: The Macmillan Company, 1936. Hardcover, 5.75 x 8.75, 1037 pages. Boldly signed on the first free end page in fountain pen, "Margaret Mitchell." Autographic condition: very good to fine, with somewhat irregular toning and an ownership signature to the signed page. Book condition: VG/None, with rubbing on the boards, minor tearing on the top and bottom of the spine, and a cocked spine.

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.
