About This Item
New York & London: various publishers, 1936 - 1957. First edition of each volume. ANTHEM, the most elusive of Rand's first editions, IS STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL BINDING and housed in a custom slipcase matching the bindings of the other three volumes which are all finely bound in matching full red leather with gilt-stamped leather spine labels and marbled endpapers. WE THE LIVING (New York: Macmillan, 1936): small chip to lower corner title page, marginal stains to few interior pages. ANTHEM (London: Cassell, 1938): spine slightly cocked, name on first blank, professional repair to spine ends (small tears mended). THE FOUNTAINHEAD (Indianapolis & New York: Bobbs-Merrill, 1943): front endpaper lightly marked. ATLAS SHRUGGED (New York: Random House, 1957): text block falling away slightly at head of spine. A desirable, visually pleasing set of the only 4 novels published in her lifetime.
