Originally won at an ARI auction in 1987, Ayn Rand's copy of Henry Hazlitt's The Great Idea was donated back to ARI and is now available again for the first time in more than 30 years.

This book contains more than four dozen pages of penciled comments in Ayn Rand's distinctive handwriting. Ayn Rand marginalia books rarely surface, and this one has an impeccable provenance.

Economics fans will be thrilled to see her outraged comments in the section discussing Marx's "unworkable dictum." In other places she blasts Hazlitt's equivocating language or takes umbrage at a depiction of "cupidity."

There is one small "page turning" tear at the middle bottom of pp. 319/320. Both the recto and verso of this leaf are heavily annotated, so it may have been torn by Ayn Rand, working in haste.

The poor condition original dust jacket has been protected with a Brodart cover for safe handling. Housed in a custom blue and white clamshell case that plays off the cover colors.

New American Library, New York, 1966. Limited first edition, issued with a slipcase in lieu of a dust jacket. Signed by Ayn Rand, number 133 of 700 signed copies.

Near fine in a fair slipcase. The slipcase has done its job of protecting the book over the years, and displays visible toning and foxing. The book is in excellent condition. A minor manufacturing flaw at the bottom of page 161 has been professionally repaired.

This collection of 22 essays includes 16 by Ayn Rand. Additional contributions include three essays by Alan Greenspan, two by Nathaniel Branden, and one by Robert Hessen.

This first edition hardcover copy of The Romantic Manifesto (celebrating its 50th publication anniversary) is inscribed by Ayn Rand on the title page.

Autographed copies of this edition are comparatively rare, but what sets this volume apart are the extensive notes written by its owner, artist Sylvia Bokor.

There's no doubt that this work of nonfiction was of paramount importance to Ms. Bokor. Page after page is filled with her analyses on concepts such as "sense of life," or the definition of "romanticism."

Art lovers will relish the opportunity to see how a working artist and Objectivist explores the ideas set forth by the first working artist and Objectivist: Ayn Rand herself.

The still bright dust jacket remains in good condition, despite several chips and small tears. Protected with a Brodart cover and housed in a custom black clamshell case.

Originally won at an ARI auction in 1991, Ayn Rand's copy of Carl Snyder's Capitalism the Creator was donated back to ARI and is now available again for the first time in more than 25 years.

Subtitled The Economic Foundations of Modern Industrial Society, this work is referenced in Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, in the chapter "Common Fallacies About Capitalism."

The Macmillan Company, New York, 1941. Red boards without dust jacket; very good condition with 44 original charts. There is some slight foxing along the inside crease of the front end page, and a small moisture mark along the bottom page edges (not visible on inner leaves). Housed in a black custom clamshell case, with gold lettering to match the book's spine.

This work's title page contains an ancient Greek quotation that translates: "If you do not know that for money-making the best capital of all is trustworthiness, you do not know anything at all."
