Rarity
Common. While old, millions of copies of Gone with the Wind have been printed since 1936, though early printings in good condition retain modest collectible interest.
Historical Significance
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1937 and adapted into one of the most famous and influential films in cinematic history.
Collector Notes
Store away from direct sunlight to prevent further fading of the blue cloth spine. Check the copyright page to verify exact printing number. True first editions with the May 1936 printing notice and Pulitzer Prize omission are worth significantly more.
