The Complete GONE WITH THE WIND Trivia Book (2nd edition)

, Taylor Trade PublishingJanuary 2014

From Margaret Mitchell's tattered manuscript to the film's 75th anniversary, this book is a behind-the-scenes chronicle of Gone With the Wind -- the book, the movie and the phenomenon that continues today.

Related in loving detail are inside stories of the writing and publishing of the novel; the Hollywood frenzy of transforming the book into film, including casting headaches, on-set tensions and jinxed scenes; the premiere; and the Academy Awards. This updated edition also contains the scoop on the publication of two GWTW sequels; the disastrous debut of the Scarlett television miniseries; the post-GWTW lives of cast members, such as the news of Gable's secret lovechild; the restoration of three original costumes in time for GWTW's 75th anniversary; and much, much more.

The reader-friendly format -- fact-packed features, profiles, quizzes, and photographs -- will delight any GWTW fan and make this the one book that no "Windie" can do without.
