Book Review
By: John Wendt WA6BFH

Title:Letters Of Ayn RandAuthor: (editor) Michael S. Berliner
Publisher:Plume/Penguin
International Standard Book Number: (ISBN) 0525939466
Library of Congress Card Number:


For those who are inclined toward reading the books of Ayn Rand, I would highly recommend a book that helps the reader to understand Ayn Rand as a person, and also her philosophy. While this book was "not exactly" written by Ayn, in another sense it was! This book may also help those who are "mystified" (an Ayn Randian like turn of phrase) by the voluminous magnitude and nature of her other reviewers. This book allows you to better know and understand the real Ayn Rand!

The book is "Letters Of Ayn Rand", and it is edited by Michael S. Berliner. The book is a compilation of correspondence that she wrote to fans, friends, and business associates. This book is very "down to earth" and reflects the expected nature of Ayn Rand's character by those who appreciate her. The book may even be of help to that small percentage of detractors who flail and bellow about her as a terrible person of awful and "evil" ideas! The book provides a very pleasant read, and will be a valued addition for persons such as myself, who have ALL of Ayn Rand's books!
