MARGARET MITCHELL HAND-CORRECTED PAMPHLETS
1936, 1939
A set of two pamphlets titled "Margaret Mitchell and Her Novel" that were printed after the inital 1936 version so that new information about the film could be included. Margaret Mitchell herself hand-corrected both copies as can be seen on Page 16 where she pencilled/penned in the notation sprained ankle to replace accident and also on Page 17 where she entirely crossed out the end of a sentence that read ...after my auto accident -- a strangely prescient thing to do since she would tragically die in an auto accident ten years later. Also included is a British "MacMillan's Autumn List - 1936" pamphlet which is the first time GWTW was offered to English booksellers as well as a photocopied letter MM wrote in 1937 with the odd opening sentences reading I wish I could tell you how to find a first edition of "Gone with the Wind," but I can't. The truth of the matter is I do not own one myself, but I hope to secure one sometime soon.
