I got this book with an order I made from the Ayn Rand Bookstore.

This is a book that you wonder why it was published. They are notes Ayn Rand made in various books in her personal library. While such comments maybe on interest to scholars they are not have as much interest for the layman. The books also suggests that Miss Rand was not well read.

There has been discussions because some of her comments about Ludwig Von Mises are very strong. I think these comments were not really intended for others which is another reason this book should not have been published.

Chris,

If Rand had commented on Kant, Hume and Hegel, I assume these comments would have been included.

As you say, one doesn't get the impression that Rand was well read. In fact, I think it is evident that she wasn't.

Neil; I think she read some things but not others at different times in her life.

Maybe it was hard for her to multi-task.
