First Hungarian edition. Octavo. 920pp. Publisher's blue buckram gilt. Binding rubbed at spine and corners, cheap paper a little toned, overall very good in a very good example of the rare dust jacket, which is slightly chipped and has a crease on the spine. Published only a year after the American edition, and extremely uncommon, but rare in jacket. Undated but the date determined by the ads. *OCLC* locates six copies over four records, three in the U.S. How many of those copies have jackets we do not know.

Gone with the Wind is a novel by American writer Margaret Mitchell, first published in 1936. The story is set in Clayton County and Atlanta, both in Georgia, during the American Civil War and Reconstruction Era. It depicts the struggles of young Scarlett O'Hara, the spoiled daughter of a well-to-do plantation owner, who must use every means at her disposal to come out of the poverty she finds herself in after Sherman's March to the Sea.
