Still would be in copyright, so I doubt there's anything legit.

AS is best read in a worn used mass market paperback format, anyway.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

I got mine at the local library book sale for 25 cents, sans cover. Read it, skipped the speech, left it on a table in my 1st Class/SSGT mess to pollute some other young mind.  Nothing really revolutionary, or put another way I was already understanding the book before I read it.  We The Living stuck with me a lot more.
AKA Navy Joe   

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

The OP's request is pretty humorous given the content of what he's looking for.

Rand was a terrible writer who's flaws are generally overlooked by the folks who agree with the ideology. She's like %90 head nodding agreement and %10 complete wtf is that crazy.

At least she managed to keep the rape fantasies down to only one or two per book so that's something.
