First edition. Signed by the author to the title page, his printed name smacked out. "The living is the telling, there's nothing going on with me that isn't either told or tellable, and if so, what's the difference, why live at all?" Octavo. 467, [1] blank] pages. Publisher's baby blue paper boards backed in black cloth, spine stamped in metallic blue; dazzling original illustrated dust jacket. Internally clean, fresh and tight. One of only 1300 copies issued on substandard paper stock, text block admits inevitable faint toning along some margins and edges. Dust jacket unclipped ($18.95); minor wear to head and foot of spine and corners. Housed in custom brown cloth clamshell case, spine stamped in gilt. Very near fine book in a fine jacket. Book #vC2222. $4900. We specialize in Rare Ayn Rand, history, and science.
