Gone With the Wind
by Margaret Mitchell
Early July 1936 Printing – “Twice Printed” Designation
Published by The Macmillan Company

This is a very early printing of Gone With the Wind, dated July 1936 and marked “Twice Printed”, issued just one month after the official first edition. It features the original gray cloth hardcover binding with blue scroll design — consistent with Macmillan’s first year of publication.

This book represents the second wave of Macmillan's rapid reprints due to the novel’s immediate and overwhelming success. It predates Mitchell’s Pulitzer win and the 1939 film adaptation, making it a significant artifact from the novel’s original launch year.
