"I had thought that after 73 years, anything and everything that could be said about Gone With The Wind, the book and film had been told. I was wrong. I was delighted reading this book that has an enormous amount of new material, not just about the film, but especially about Margaret Mitchell and her "Great American Novel". I would recommend this book to any movie fan, book fan, literary scholar, or just plain old "Windie". I Learned a lot about GWTW that I had not known before, and I thought I had read everything there was to know on this topic. Well written!"Dr. Chris Sullivan
