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.
Reader reviews for Gone with the Wind
Review summary
Readers praised the novel’s immersive storytelling, vivid Civil War setting, and the complex, often exasperating portrayal of Scarlett O’Hara and her volatile bond with Rhett. Several found it a gripping, character-driven saga with sharp dialogue and memorable scenes despite its length. Many, however, condemned its overt racism, Lost Cause nostalgia, and sympathetic treatment of the KKK, which for some outweighed its literary strengths. Some noted mid-book slack and romance fatigue, while others called it a lifelong favorite and more revealing than the film.

First line
SCARLETT O'HARA was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were.
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.
