I went looking for Gone With the Wind on Paperback Swap today. There are fourteen listings when "Gone with the Wind" is entered on the title line. Of those fourteen listings, eight are actually the book Scarlett, the sequel to Gone With the Wind, written by Alexandra Ripley. Of the other six listings, one is a movie trivia book, one is a condensed version with two other books, three are about the making of and art associated with the movie, and the last is the "ultimate" man guide to the movie.
This makes me wonder. Is Gone With the Wind so wonderful that no one is willing to part with their copy? How come I could get multiple copies of a sequel not even written by Margaret Mitchell, but not the original? I guess I'll have to get this one from the library. And then read really quickly.
Have you read the sequel? I love it, of course I love Gone With the Wind too (both book and movie). I really did not like the movie of Scarlet though, I hate it when movie makers add all of the filth of today "to make it sell". Good luck on your quest, you made me realize that I don't own a copy of it either, now I'll have to start looking.
