MITCHELL MARGARET & CLARK GABLEABAA

Gone With the Wind - By Margaret Mitchell

193613198JNew 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

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.
