Original green cloth in dust jacket, top edge green. 8 1/2 x 5 7/8 inches (21 x 14.5 cm); (vi), 1168, (iv) pp. Jacket with two small losses at the head of the spine, some minor edge defects, but overall a good example. A slight dampstain affects the cloth at the foot of the spine, and the dye of the cloth has caused some minor discoloration within, most noticeable at the lower gutter margin of the title, and with lessening impact on a few successive pages. Anatomy of Wonder (1987) 3-316. Atlas Shrugged is "so filled with hate that it is hard to imagine even the anti-utopian most opposed to collectivism as able to accept its worship of selfishness.
