I have what I believe to be a first edition in mostly pristine condition, no yellowing on the pages, though missing the inside binding page (not a printed page) Bobbs-Merrill , 1943, brick red binding, all errors, has an exlibris of bob and rose smith sticker on the inside front cover, otherwise no markings, spine is straight, corners are square. unfortunately no dust jacket. Gold on cover and spine in good shape, very minor discoloration on top of spine on cover. just picked it up recently and from what I have found online it looks pretty legit. It's a very clean copy.
I am copying this post here and will keep it in evidence for a couple of weeks, or until someone comes up with the edition.

Does anyone have a first edition of The Fountainhead and wish to sell it? A Los Angeles bookseller who specializes in first editions tells me he is looking for this, and will pay several thousand dollars for it (depending on the condition). Alternatively, he will buy just the dust jacket of the first edition.
Anyone interested should contact me, and I will put you in touch with the bookseller.
