That is the imperishable achievement of Ayn Rand.” Inscribed and Dated by Nathaniel Branden. Branden’s first book, First edition of the first book on Objectivism other than those by Rand. Later repudiated by its authors, Who Is Ayn Rand includes three essays (on morality, psychology and aesthetics) by Nathaniel Branden, at that time, co-editor with Rand of The Objectivist Newsletter, and a biographical sketch by Branden’s then wife Barbara. Much of what Barbara wrote here appears later in Barbara’s full-length biography, The Passion of Ayn Rand. Now long out of print and rare signed, especally by Rand and both authors.
