November, 1936 printing in original matching wrapper. Including the May first printing, this is the twenty-seventh printing which is also stated at front of wrapper. Uncommon in original wrapper. Scarce example nearly ninety years in existence. Butternut (greyish brown) full cloth boards, navy stamped cover and spine titles, moderate edge, corner wear, rub. Deckled pages good; varying tanning, some shadowing at first few pages. Stylish antiquarian inscription pencilled at front endpaper: "W. S. Patrick - Xmas 1936, from Mrs. A. F. Mooney." Bind square, intact. Original issue dust wrapper matching first in design, some edge wear, rub, crease; unclipped 3.00, protected in new clear sleeve. Scarce near good early issue in same wrapper. Unparalleled drama, action and romance flower within the breathtaking wonders of this inspired spectacle of the written word and the most magnificently, exciting love story, ever! There were over one hundred printings of the first edition. Only 10,000 copies were produced of this true first printing in May, 1936. The subsequent June printing sold 50,000 copies on its first day, and two million after a year. Even though it is 1,037 pages long, readers all over the world snatched up the book; by 1937 it was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the film rights had been sold to David O. Selznick. Mitchell prided herself on the historical accuracy of her work; and it is a sweeping account of how the Civil War tore apart an entire way of life. The stirring drama of the War Between the States and Reconstruction is brought vividly to life in this magnificent novel. Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara remain two of the most enduring characters in American fiction. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.…
