Margaret Mitchell's Gone With The Wind : A Bestseller's Odyssey From Atlanta To Hollywood
by Ellen F. Brown and John Wiley, Jr.

Unless you're a true, avid fan of Gone With the Wind, you probably wouldn't want to read this book. The second author, John Wiley, Jr., owns one of the largest private collections of GWTW memorabilia in the world which includes every American edition of the novel. He and Ellen F. Brown attempt to write an account of how the novel came to be, in the first place, getting it published, then the movie rights and dealing with her tremendous success. After 60 pages, I had had enough. It's very detailed with excessive amounts of minutiae. I'm glad that I only had to pay 25 cents to request the book and no more than that. It's not worth the paper that it's printed on.
Not recommended.
