Those are the pages that are missing in my copy of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged! A little past the halfway point, when things are at their gloomiest for the industrialist heroes of the book, there's a card stock saddle stitched insert ad for finding out more information about objectivism. Somehow, the book skips over twenty pages, and it doesn't even look like my book is damaged.
So anyway, does anyone have the Signet paperback 35th anniversary edition with an intro from Leonard Peikoff? I need to borrow a few pages...

IMHO, the more pages missing from that book, the better!
i had to have the hardcover edition of such a wonderful book, so i can't help you. i can tell you mine has all the pages, but the page numbers probably don't match yours, so i can't give you a summary of what you're missing. where did you buy it?
i don't know where i got the book. i think it may have been ellen's already when i met her. anyway, my cousin has a copy of the same edition as me and is mailing me a copy!
nice. i just finished reading the fountain head again. i'll probably read atlas shrugged again a few books down the line.
You may not believe this, but I have the exact same edition and exact same problem! Could you post how you resolved this, if you did?
interesting! one of my cousins emailed me after reading this post, and turns out he has the same edition, but with the pages intact. so he sent me a complete version. now i have a week to read those pages before i see him to give the book back....
let me know if you find another way!
