Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. A Very Good copy with a touch of shelfwear in a Very Good jacket. B/w and Color Illustrations and Photographs. // 'Ayn Rand made a profound impact as both a philosopher who founded a school of social thought, Objectivism, and as a novelist of penetrating insight and vision. Her works are founded on heroic ideals, demonstrating the maxim that, ?man's ego is the fountainhead of human progress.? The photos and illustrations in this volume have been hand-selected from the Ayn Rand Archives, and most have never been published. They include personal mementos of a Petersburg childhood, her family and their home on Nevsky Prospect; photos from her early years in America; personal papers, including her list of the twelve publishers who passed on 'The Fountainhead'; original newspaper articles, film posters, notes, drawings, and much more.' -- publisher.
