"This book is addressed to the young -- in years or in spirit -- who are not afraid to know and are not ready to give up" (Rand, Introduction). 

Undoubtedly, The Bibliophile Copy --a stunning copy of Rand's first Signed Limited Edition (SLE, preceding the 2000 SLE copies of Atlas Shrugged by several months), one of only 700 copies signed and numbered by Ayn Rand on the Limitation Page. 

"No politico-economic system in history has ever proved its value so eloquently or has benefited mankind so greatly as capitalism -- and none has ever been attacked so savagely, viciously, and blindly. The flood of misinformation, misrepresentation, distortion, and outright falsehood about capitalism is such that the young people of today have no idea (and virtually no way of discovering any idea) of its actual nature" (Ibid). Rand wrote of "misinformation" decades before it became fashionable!

 This copy nearly As New, Unread in a magnificent slipcase: Crisp, clean, no toning, edge nicks (as usually found), or writing. A once-in-a-lifetime copy, you'll never find another like it! .
