First Edition/Stated First Printing with the $6.95 price and 10/57 code on the front flap; A Near Fine book in a Very Good or better dust jacket. SIGNED directly to the title page by the author, without inscription. A beautiful copy of this classic of 20th Century Literature; very scarce flat signed by the author and in collectible condition. This copy is in near fine condition with a square tight binding, bright lettering over clean green boards, and bright, white pages throughout, free from any markings save a PO signature and date to the front free paper; the front board is slightly loose, else a fine copy. Housed in a crisp, clean, and bright very good or better dust jacket that shows only some light rubbing and chipping to the ends, edges, and corners, and some inconspicuous reinforcement to the verso of the front flap edge. Overall, a beautiful example of this author's 4th novel, the most extensive statement on her Objectivism philosophy, and a large influence on current libertarian and conservative thinking; an important addition to any Modern First Edition collection.
