Rare Ayn Rand Photo Collection for Sale
From Michael Brown:
"This extraordinary original set includes a Czarist-era photograph of the very young Ayn Rand surrounded by her extended family, including her parents, grandparents, and sister - likely the only such image that will ever be made available - and a photograph of Ayn Rand in 1959 reading a Random House hardcover - either her masterwork "Atlas Shrugged" or the McKeon edition of her philosophical forebear, Aristotle. Further photographs include Rand with her husband Frank O'Connor, with her protegee Nathaniel Branden and Branden's wife Barbara, Rand standing as bridesmaid at the Branden wedding and the wedding dinner, Rand's cat Francisco, the Brandens themselves, future Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, Ayn Rand's protegee Leonard Peikoff, and the young Frank O'Connor and family members (including portraits of O'Connor's brother Nick, who aided Rand in her breakthrough best-seller "The Fountainhead").

Heavens, no... You should find a worthy person who has the right-thinking purely socialist motives to give to them, so they can claim to start a museum and a Foundation for which to make them available to all the people for, of course, the "greater good" out of a spirit of altruism and brother love..............
(OK, I was trying for humor, but I lost my breakfast instead. Darn.)
