GABLE CLARK & MARGARET MITCHELLABAA

Gone With the Wind - By Margaret Mitchell

193613197JNew York: Macmillan 1936. First Edition First Issue. Signed by Margaret Mitchell on the flyleaf. Laid into the book is what is considered the finest Clark Gable letter extant an amazing reflection all about Gone With the Wind. Dated January 25 1960 it is a Typed Letter Signed in blue ink by Clark Gable on his printed stationery with the original stamped envelope which is written to the News Editor of the Atlanta Constitution newspaper Mr. Actor Cordell Jr. who had asked for Gableâ€™s remarks on Gone With the Wind twenty years after the release of the film classic and to which Clark Gable wrote this amazing response: "Dear Mr. Cordell: I have received your letter of December 29 and will answer your questions in the order which you ask them. - Yes it does seem like 20 years. - I feel about GONE WITH THE WIND as being one of the greatest pictures ever made not because I played a leading role in it but because of the great story the way the story was brought to the screen the production it received and because of its very fine cast. When I look at the picture now after 20 years I still feel it is one of the finest motion pictures ever made. - Yes I think Rhett Butler is my favorite role and I am associated more with GONE WITH THE WIND than with any of my other pictures. - As to suggestions for the casting of Rhett in the forthcoming stage musical this is a little out of my line. I am sure the producer and the director will be completely capable of finding a very fine Rhett Butler. - Of the late Margaret Mitchell I would like to say that in addition to writing a wonderful novel she was of great help to me before I started working in the picture advising me of the manner in which she thought I should attempt to portray Butler. I listened to her and followed her advice and fortunately for me everything she told me was right. Naturally she was the one to whom I went for advice because she was the one who had created the character. I am forever grateful to Margaret Mitchell. - Most sincerely Signed Clark Gable.â€ This letter was written shortly before Gable left to film his final motion picture the late masterwork The Misfits co-starring Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift directed by John Huston using an original screenplay by Monroeâ€™s husband Arthur Miller. Gable died in November a few days after shooting his last scene. This articulate and fascinating letter therefore remains his final observations about Gone With the Wind. The book itself is a near fine first edition in original cloth in a very good first issue dust jacket with some minor expert restoration by a paper conservationist. A truly historic piece enclosed in a very handsome custom morocco and cloth custom box. Macmillan hardcover books

Gibbon Lewis Grassic James Leslie MitchellABAA

A Scots Quair Trilogy. Including: Sunset Song Cloud Howe and Grey Granite.

1932124744London: Jarrolds Publishers 1932-1934. First editions of each volume of Gibbon's classic trilogy describing the life of Chris Guthrie a woman from the north-east of Scotland during the early 20th century each volume inscribed by him to George Malcolm Thomson. Octavo original cloth 3 volumes. Sunset Song is inscribed on the title page "For G. Malcolm Thomson L. Grassic Gibbon." Cloud Howe is the dedication copy inscribed on the title page "For the 'dedicatee' with kind regards. L. Grassic Gibbon." Grey Granite is inscribed on the title page "For George Malcolm Thomson with good wishes L. Grassic Gibbon." Each are in very good condition. Rare and desirable signed and inscribed. A Scots Quair is revolutionary - innovative in its form deft and humorous in its use of language courageous in its characterization and politics. Central to the trilogy is Chris Guthrie one of the most remarkable female characters in modern literature. In Sunset Song Gibbon's finest achievement the reader follows Chris through her girlhood in a tight-knit Scottish farming community: the seasons the weddings the funerals the grind of work the gossip. As the Great War takes its toll machines replace the old way of life. Cloud Howe and Grey Granite take Chris from her rural homeland to life in an industrial Scotland and the desperate years of the Depression. Gibbon attracted attention from his earliest attempts at fiction notably from H. G. Wells but it was his trilogy entitled A Scots Quair and in particular its first book Sunset Song with which he made his mark. A Scots Quair with its combination of stream-of-consciousness lyrical use of dialect and social realism is considered to be among the defining works of the 20th century Scottish Renaissance. All three parts of the trilogy have been turned into serials by BBC Scotland written by Bill Craig with Vivien Heilbron as Chris. Additionally Sunset Song has been adapted into a film released in 2015. Jarrolds Publishers hardcover books

MITCHELL John 1711 1768. Georges Louis LE ROUGE 1712 1790ABAA

Amerique septentrionale avec les Routes Distances en miles Villages et Etablissements FranÃ§ois et Anglois. Par le Docteur Mitchel Traduit de l'Anglois . Corigee en 1776 par M. Hawkins.

177726040Paris: Le Rouge 1777. Engraved map hand-coloured in outline on 8 sheets individual sheets: 27 1/4 x 21 inches if joined would form a single large sheet 59 x 79 inches with large allegorical cartouche and inset map of Hudson's Bay and Labrador. Good condition small repaired tear. Housed in a red morocco backed box. A fine example of a French edition of Mitchell's monumental mapping of Colonial America a scarce issue published during the American Revolution. "John Mitchell was not a mapmaker by profession rather he was a medical doctor natural philosopher and botanist of considerable merit. Yet his sole cartographic endeavor.was perhaps the greatest produced in the history of America" Degrees of Latitude. Mitchell's Map of the British and French Dominions in North America is widely regarded as the most important map in American History. Prepared on the eve of the French & Indian War it was the second large format map of North America printed by the British and included the best up to date information on the region. Over the next century it would play a significant role in the resolution of every significant boundary dispute involving the northern border of the then British Colonies and later the United States. It was also the map-of-record at the birth of the United States and continued in this role through several decades in the early life of the country. John Mitchell a respected British physician botanist chemist biologist and surveyor lived for a time in Virginia but returned to England in 1746 where he remained. Mitchell initially conceived of his map of North America as the best method of presenting to the British public in a single large format image of all the colonies the extent of the French threat to the British claims in North America. Mitchell completed his first draft of the map in 1750. However because he was limited to publicly available sources of information this initial effort was rather crude even in Mitchell's own opinion. But word of Mitchell's work spread and the Board of Trade and Plantations retained Mitchell to make a new map using the official manuscript and printed maps and reports in the Board's possession including maps by Fry and Jefferson Christopher Gist George Washington John Barnwell and others. The Board also instructed all the colonial governors to send detailed maps and boundary information for Mitchell's use. Mitchell's map was first published by Andrew Millar in 1755 the year before war broke out with the French. The map is decidedly pro-English in its interpretation of the various boundaries and geographical information depicted on the map as would be expected for what amounted to thinly veiled pre-war propaganda. In addition to the geographical detail shown on the map Mitchell included many annotations describing the extent of British and French settlements. He also submitted a report to the Board in 1752 listing the French encroachments and his ideas of ways to encourage British settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains as a means of combating French influence in the region. Mitchell's map shows the British Colonial claims of Virginia both Carolinas and Georgia extending beyond the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean. In the West Mitchell's treatment of the lower Missouri is a vast improvement over earlier maps. Regarding the source of the Missouri Mitchell noted that the Missouri river was reckoned to run westward to the Mountains of New Mexico as far as the Ohio does eastward reflecting his belief in symmetrical geography. Mitchell correctly shows the northern branch of the Missouri to be the main branch of the river although his estimate of the latitude of the river's source is inaccurate. Nonetheless the information Mitchell's map provided led Meriwether Lewis to explore the Marias River to determine the northern reaches of the Missouri River basin. The present French edition appeared in 1777 within Le Rouge's Atlas Ameriquain Septentrional. Le Rouge had first published an edition of the Mitchell map in 1756. The speed with which Le Rouge produced a full-size copy of Mitchell's original is an indication of how important the 1755 map was considered at the time. War in the region meant that consistent reliable cartographic intelligence was vital. Both the English and French versions went through a number of subsequent editions well into the 1770s. Mitchell's map went on to become the primary political treaty map in American history. Regarded by many authorities as the most important map in the history of American cartography twenty-one variant states and editions of the map appeared between 1755 and 1781.

Gone With the Wind.

1936117051New York: The Macmillan Company 1936. First edition of Mitchell's masterpiece. Octavo original gray cloth. First printing with "Published May 1936" on the copyright page and no mention of other printings. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "For Mary Buck Margaret Mitchell." Near fine in the rare original dust jacket which is in near fine condition. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. A superior example. In 1923 Margaret Mitchell became a feature writer for the Atlanta Journal and in 1925 married John Marsh a public relations officer for Georgia Power. She found most of her assignments unfulfilling and she soon left to try writing fiction more to her own taste. Her own harshest critic she would not try to get her work published. She began to write Gone with the Wind in 1926 while recovering from an automobile accident. Over the next eight years she painstakingly researched for historical accuracy. She accumulated thousands of pages of manuscript. Here is how she later described her life's labor: "When I look back on these last years of struggling to find time to write between deaths in the family illness in the family and among friends which lasted months and even years childbirths not my own divorces and neuroses among friends my own ill health and four fine auto accidents . it all seems like a nightmare. I wouldn't tackle it again for anything. Just as soon as I sat down to write somebody I loved would decide to have their gall-bladder removed. . " In 1934 an editor from Macmillan's Publishers came to Atlanta seeking new authors. He was referred to John and Margaret Marsh as people who knew Atlanta's literary scene. She steered him to several prospects but didn't mention her own work. A friend told him that she was writing a novel but she denied it. On the night before he was to leave Atlanta she appeared at his hotel-room door with her still imperfect mountainous manuscript and left it with him for better or for worse. "This is beyond doubt one of the most remarkable first novels produced by an American writer. It is also one of the best" New York Times. Gone With the Wind is said to be the fastest selling novel in the history of American publishing 50000 copies in a single day and went on to win the Pulitzer Prize.

Typed Letter Signed

600114"Margaret" in black fountain pen ink on personal letterhead Atlanta May 3 1939. 4to 3 separate pages. To Mable and Edwin Granberry: " We have been in one of our hurricanes. It all started when Selznick at last announced Miss Vivien Leigh and things are just now quieting down." She then goes on to ponder an invitation to Long Beach New York. On page two she comments on that years Pulitzer Prize-winner: "Of course you know about Marjorie Rawlings getting the Pulitzer award. There never was much doubt that she would get it if there was any justice anywhere.I do not know whether the award will keep her too busy to make this trip. The members of the Atlanta Womens Press Club have asked me to give a party for her should she come as they are all anxious to meet her." Mitchell closes with mention of the book which made her famous: "I was interested in your remarks about finding a GWTW mention in an article written by a Chinese. I did not see the article and if you have to or know who wrote it Id be interested. As far as I know the book has not been done into Chinese.I am just learning now that it was published in Japan a year and half ago and that it has sold 150000 copies there. I will not get a cent from this because Japan has a treaty with the United States which gives them the right to translate and publish American books without paying royalties to the authors." Mitchell met Edwin Granberry when he wrote an early laudatory review of GWTW; he later interviewed her for his March 13 1937 article "The Private Life Of Margaret Mitchell." They became friends and frequent correspondents see Darden Pyron's "Southern Daughter" for numerous comments. Not in "GWTW Letters." Mitchell 1900-49 American writer; author of the 1936 Pulitzer Prize winning "Gone With the Wind" filmed by MGM in 1939 under directors George Cukor and Victor Fleming starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh.
