Why You’ll Love It
A rare Barbara Raheb miniature edition of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind, this 1984 book is numbered #176 and contains pages of readable text within its tiny binding. First published in 1936, Mitchell’s sweeping Civil War-era novel became an extraordinary publishing success and won the 1937 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Bound in rich maroon pyroxylin, Raheb’s miniature edition features gilt titling framed by an elegant decorative border of scrolling vines and delicate corner flourishes, with additional gilt decoration along the spine.
Rare, retired, and beautifully preserved, this literary classic is a striking addition to a miniature library or serious Barbara Raheb collection.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
