8vo - 8-1/2" x 5-3/4". 24th Printing. Gray cloth, blue lettering & decoration on spine & front cover, [vi], 1037pp. According to the "gwtwbooks" website for gwtw collectors, this is the 24th printing, with: "Extra period on last line before '(seven times)' in the edition statement on the copyright page," i.e., "October, 1936. (seven times)." Offered with a new FACSIMILE Dust Jacket (so noted at bottom of front flap), protected in a new Demco-brand archival clear plastic cover (removable). Includes a number of press clippings collected by the previous owner; two are laid-in and three are affixed with reversible tape to the margins of the last three pages -- including a Literary Digest review dated December 26, 1936. Book is square with reasonably tight binding with no inner breaks. Spine ends are bumped & rubbed, with a vertical crease down the center -- ending with a 1" closed tear top & bottom ("Repaired at the top with waterbase school glue," per previous owner.), front hinge also has a 1" closed tear in outer cloth at top & wear at bottom. Corners are lightly bumped with minimal wear. Previous owner's name (Mrs. J. H. H---------), addresses (-------, Newton, Kans.) and dates (at two different addresses: 12/25/1936 and, 1965) is inked to the front free endpaper. The half title page is laid in place, having obviously been accidentally torn out. Text remains white, quite crisp, clean and complete, with edges faded. -- With the facsimile dust Jacket, a nice copy from the first year of publication in the original rather plain cloth binding, which the publisher retained until the 1939 printings. -- Originally published in May, 1936, the title is taken from the first line of the third stanza of the poem Non Sum Qualis eram Bonae Sub Regno Cynarae by Ernest Dowson: "I have forgot much, Cynara! Gone with the wind." It is also taken from a line spoken by Scarlett O'Hara in the book. When her hometown is overtaken by the Yankees, she wonders if her home is still standing, or if it too is "gone with the wind" of civil war that swept through Georgia. Mitchell's work relates the story of a rebellious Georgia Southern belle named Scarlett O'Hara and her experiences with family, friends, lovers, and enemies before, during, and after the American Civil War. Using Scarlett's life, Mitchell examined the effect of the war on the old order of the south, and the aftermath of the war on what was left of the southern planter class.. Book Condition: Good.
