The Ayn Rand Reader 
Edited by Gary Hull and Leonard Peikoff

This book provides an invaluable means of introducing Ayn Rand to new audiences. Here, for the first time, is a single collection of lengthy samples of Ayn Rand's writings on the crucial issues of philosophy. These are carefully chosen excerpts, alternating between her fiction and non-fiction, with brief introductions explaining the context of each selection. Passages from her novels are followed by non-fiction passages that elaborate on related philosophic issues.  The material includes her views on: the mind-body dichotomy, the virtue of selfishness, the nature of concepts, the role of art in human life and the relationship between reason and emotion. This anthology is ideal for those who are new to Ayn Rand's ideas. But it also provides readers familiar with them an opportunity to relive their favorite scenes. (512 pages)
