First Printing. Annotated in Margaret Mitchell's hand, Gone With The Wind Stapled promotional pamphlet in soft wraps, 5" x 7.25" with 22 paginated pages. Published by The Macmillan Company, New York, 1936 "created as a compilation in response to a flood of requests from readers all over the country for information about the author and her book." With two areas blacked out by Mitchell and the words "(sprained ankle)" scripted in Mitchell's pen.
Margaret Mitchell herself hand-corrected THIS COPY as can be seen on Page 16 where she penciled/penned-in the notation "sprained ankle" to replace accident and also on Page 17 where she entirely crossed out the end of a sentence that read ..."after my auto accident" -- a hauntingly prescient as Mitchell would tragically die in an auto accident ten years later. Vertical fold to pamphlet, faint handling marks to outer wraps. Interior very clean. A neat, succinct pamphlet. A unique piece of Gone with the Wind history. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Book #Pv2203.
