On The Road To Tara: The Making of Gone With The Wind Book, by Aljean Harmetz

I’d call it excellent condition except for the tiny tear on book jacket, see photos 🙃 180 illustrations including 105 plates in full color and an 8-page gatefold. Perfect gift for the GWTW fan in your life! 🌳 Copyright 1996 Synopsis: A noted journalist has gained access to the Gone With the Wind producer's private archive, as well as several other large collections, to reveal prospective casting lists, more than one hundred photographs, and many more insights into the making of the blockbuster movie. From Kirkus Reviews: Harmetz, who has previously chronicled the making of The Wizard of Oz and Casablanca, now turns to the Great American Movie: Gone With the Wind. With access to previously unpublished materials in David Selznick's private archives, she relates the film's history, from the endless revision of the script to the battle with the censors--not only over Rhett Butler's use of the word ``damn,'' but the less well known fight over the word ``niggers,'' which is used in the book but not in the movie. Heavily illustrated, the volume includes scene sketches for Tara and the burning of Atlanta, costume sketches, makeup stills, and more.
