1943 – SECOND STATE – THE FOUNTAINHEAD by AYN RAND

Published by The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Indianpolis; 1943 second issue/state bound in green cloth – No Dustjacket, 754 pages. Later printing of the early first edition – no First Edition statement nor any other printings stated on Copyright Page. Contains all the other first edition points, including: Page 9: The “9” looks like an “o” at the bottom. Page 321, Line 5: “referred” is spelled “refrred.” Page 381, Line 4: The “G” in “G. W.” is slightly smaller. Page 480, Line 2: “Dominique” is spelled “Domininque.”

Nice clean and tight book block, no names or markings on endpapers, light wear top and bottom of spine, AND sunning to spine and a tad on front board as shown below. If you add an appropriate facsimile dust jacket this will be a nice copy in your Ayn Rand collection. Depending upon condition or this book, and condition of dustjacket (if any) this second issue can run up to $3,000 and more. Priced low due to sunning on spine and lack of jacket.
