Gone With THE Wind

This ex-library copy of "Gone with the Wind" shows signs of considerable wear, including stains, library stamps, and markings. The absence of a dust jacket and the presence of library labels indicate its past in a public collection. The binding remains intact, though the cover and pages display typical wear and tear expected of a frequently handled library book.

Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind," published by The Macmillan Company in New York in 1936, is a cornerstone of American literature, known for its vivid portrayal of the Civil War and Reconstruction era in the Southern United States. This particular copy, an ex-library edition from the Colorado Springs School Library, bears the marks of its past with typical library stamps and markings. While the lack of a dust jacket and signs of wear may deter some collectors, this edition offers a unique glimpse into the book's history in public collections. Its enduring appeal lies in Mitchell's masterful storytelling and the novel's significant cultural impact, making it a valuable addition to any historical fiction collection.
