“Good God almighty! That woman is a sewer!” Ayn Rand’s heavily (and disapprovingly) annotated copy of Mary McCarthy’s
essay volume The Humanist in the Bathtub, which includes
the above comment by Rand on McCarthy, is up for auction
at Butterfields along with a lot of other books from Rand’s
library.
The estimate is $3,000-$5,000. Go here to see for yourself. It’s a total hoot.
By the way, don’t you love reading the marginalia of famous people? Somebody really ought to put together an anthology….
