Description: First printing of the Holiday Edition, published in 1939 as a lighter cheaper format book that could be carried around more easily. The book was first published in the UK in September 1936 in a heavier binding with 1037 pages. ***A very good copy in blue cloth-covered boards with black titles to the spine. The boards are quite clean, but there is some fading and foxing to the spine, and some marginal fading to the blue colour on the boards. No bumps, creases or tears. Corners sharp. Page block edges clean. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also very good with no inscriptions. There is some wrinkling to the first few pages, due to the very thin paper stock used. Very slight unobtrusive scattered foxing but pages largely clean. No significant creases or tears. No dustwrapper. ***222mm x 145mm. 795 pages. ***'Over 1,500,000 copies sold in America & England.' ***This is a stirring drama of the American Civil War, the destruction of all that had created the idle yet ardent life of the cotton-growing South, the trials and tragedies of reconstruction, and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan. ***Set in Georgia, written by a native Southerner, it portrays as never before the impact of a cataclysmic era on real men and women. Though the Civil War and its consequences provide the sombre and magnificent background, this is not a "war book". ***The main theme is the story of the beautiful, selfish Scarlett O'Hara, who knew every form of fear, frustration, and defeat, but always rose up with confidence of coming victory. ***Seldom in the history of fiction has a writer produced a novel - and surely never a first novel - of anything like this length which sustained such an even level of unquestionable competence, never once showing the least signs of strain or weariness --- All who inhabit these pages are well and clearly drawn' - Time Literary Supplement. (Quote and review quote taken from the dustwrapper of a different copy) ***First printing of the Holiday Edition, published in 1939 in a lighter cheaper format to make it more portable - a nice contemporary pre-war copy of a landmark work. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

Description: Gone With The Wind is known both as the novel written by Margaret Mitchell (published in June, 1936) and the epic movie (released in December, 1939) of the same name. The book for sale is the first attempt to blend the two in a low-price popular offering, released along with the movie in December, 1939. Gone With The Wind setting is in the Confederate South during the American Civil War and Reconstruction era. It tells the story of Scarlett O’Hara (Viven Leigh), the strong-willed daughter of a Georgia plantation owner, following her romantic pursuit of Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard), who is married to his cousin, Melanie Hamilton (Olivia de Havilland), and her subsequent marriage to Rhett Butler (Clark Gable). Before the release of the movie, more than two million copies of the novel had sold through 49 printings. The movie received 10 Oscars (eight competitive, two honorary) from thirteen nominations at the 1940 Academy Awards. It set records for both the total number of wins and nominations at the time and is regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. This “Illustrated Motion Picture Edition” is comprised of the novel in 391pp, a 3-page listing of actors and makers of the movie, and 12 color stills on 6 plates bound into book. The front cover states this is the “Motion Picture Edition.” viii + 391pp + 6 plates. Printing history and title page indicates this copy is from the first print run of this motion picture edition (i.e. the novel plus color photographs from the motion picture), December, 1939. Interior is tight, clean and, except for name and date on half-title and a personal Libris sticker pasted inside front cover, unmarked. Paperback cover is whole, but shows wear, fanned pages and covers repaired with tape. A very usable reading copy.

The HMS Conway was a naval training school based on the ship of the same name, originally launched as the NILE in 1839. The NILE This was a two-decker, 92-gun second-rate line-of-battle ship. She was 205 ft long on the gundeck, 54 ft in beam, and displaced 4,375 long tons. During her operational life she was equipped with ten 8-inch guns and eighty-two 30-pounders. She was entirely built from West African hardwoods and copper fastened, with copper sheathing anti-fouling to her under parts. She had survived the Baltic Blockade during the Crimean War, later protecting British possessions in the Caribbean and 'showing the flag' along the eastern seaboard of North America 50 years after the British surrender at Yorktown. In 1876 she was renamed CONWAY and moored on the Mersey, at which time she took up being the HMS CONWAY SCHOOL. She was eventually sunk whilst travelling for a refit in 1953. As for GONE WITH THE WIND, that's a story about a much larger and older ship that also sunk.
