Catalogue Note
First edition, first issue, with May 1936 on title-page verso. A rare family presentation copy, inscribed and signed by Mitchell on the front free endpaper to Clara Mitchell McConnell, her aunt: "For Aunt Clara With love from Margaret Mitchell, June 29, 1936." Laid in to the book is a copy of Mitchell's calling card (Mr. John Robert Marsh), as well as an autograph note from her, which evidently accompanied a floral arrangement: "So sorry to hear of your illness. Hope you're going to be better soon. Margaret and John Marsh."
