Ayn Rand ''We the Living'' 1st Ed. Signed
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
True first edition, first printing copy of Ayn Rand's ''We the Living'' signed and inscribed by the acclaimed author. Macmillan: New York: 1936. Rand inscribes the front free endpaper: ''To Mary Virginia Inholes [?] -- with the very best wishes of the author / Ayn Rand / June 17, 1936'' with an excellent, clear signature. One of only 3,000 copies printed, ''We the Living'' is Rand's first published book, and considered one of her earliest public statements against Communism. The book is Rand's closest attempt at autobiography as she mentions in the foreword, and tells the story of life in post-revolutionary Russia. With all first edition points present, including ''Published, April 1936'' on copyright page. Bound in beige cloth boards with turquoise lettering. Pages are clean and binding is tight, with only toning to edges and endpapers. Lacking a dustjacket, book measures 5.5'' x 8'' and is in near fine condition.
