By the end of 1936, over a million copies of Gone With the Wind had sold, and Margaret Mitchell's life had been turned upside down - only a couple of weeks after publication of the book she wrote her publisher that "life has been so much like a nightmare." There were incessant and relentless demands on her time, and she was shocked by the lack of civility demonstrated by members of the press and by many of her fans who showed up at her home uninvited, who phoned her night and day, and who followed her all over Atlanta demanding attention and autographs (she was followed into department store dressing rooms and even to family funerals!). By the end of the year she was unable to handle the crush of autograph-seekers, and she politely refused to sign any more copies of the book after December of 1936. Mitchell was overwhelmed, and in August of 1936, her husband, John Marsh, sent a telegram to Time magazine stating "Mrs. Marsh sick in bed as result of strain of becoming famous too suddenly.
