RAND, Ayn. Atlas Shrugged. New York, 1957. 8o. Original green cloth, dust jacket (spot of rubbing on lower right corner of front panel, minor creasing at lower spine fold at head of spine), a bright copy of a book that because of its great bulk (almost 1220 pages), very rarely survives in this condition. FIRST EDITION, in first state dust jacket with "10/57" on bottom of front flap. American readers (in a recent Random House poll) named this work second only to the Bible as the most influential book in their lives.
