This Encyclopedia gets into big and small details about author Margaret Mitchell’s life and death.

I am a big fan of Margaret Mitchell and her only book Gone With The Wind. I have read the book many times. When I was younger I looked for anything I could find about Mitchell which at the time was not much. This has so much info and even though it is an encyclopedia it is very easy to digest.

The downside to this book is that it will only appeal to fans of the author. I mean I can’t imagine anyone who is not a fan would read this.

I liked this book more than I thought I would. I thought being an encyclopedia it was going to be too dry. I kinda wish some of my other favorite authors had their own encyclopedias.… (more)

Quite an informative read. You can learn many things from reading this book, not only about Gone With the Wind and Margaret Mitchell but about life in the 1920s and '30s, Atlanta and Southern history as well. I do recommend this book if you interested in any of those subjects, but I wouldn't read the book if you are only SLIGHTLY interested in GWTW. DON'T read the book if you haven't read the book or seen the film!!!! I can't stress that enough.
Lots of rare, fascinating photographs, but a lot of typos.… (more)

Even though I was a big fan of Gone With the Wind as a teenager, I have to admit that the idea of an Encyclopedia of Margaret Mitchell seem far fetched. Correct. The book, once received, failed to give to me any realization of the need of its existence.
My select group of book loving friends insisted that I was joking until I actually showed them the book. Even then, they seemed incredulous! Yes, it read like an Encyclopedia. And, yes, it appears to be very well researched. But, who is the real audience?
For my taste, I would prefer a biography of Mitchell, with the information contained in the book edited sharply and put in the back. I just can't get over how this book was ever published on its own. I did, however, find some interesting facts, Still?… (more)
