New York: Random House, 1957.
Sold
Hardcover. First edition, first issue in first issue dust jacket. Bookplate on front pastedown else fine in about near fine dustwrapper with tiny spot on rear jacket, touch of toning and bit of wear at the crown and nick to the front flap. Still a remarkably fresh and bright copy of this modern classic. A recent study of Rand's cultural legacy concluded that no single work of the 20th Century had influenced more individual readers than this objectivist allegory. Additionally, *Harper's Index* reports that 12% of all Playboy Playmates since 1959 claimed either this or Rand's *The Fountainhead* as their favorite book, although our twenty years of trying to use copies as bait continue to prove fruitless. A beautiful copy.
