Additional Details

In addition to an account of her own experiences as a collector, Rand's article includes some characteristic social commentary: "There is a sense of 'brotherhood' among stamp collectors . . . : the brotherhood of holding the same values. In the midst of today's cynical inversion and corruption of all values, one seldom meets a person with whom one has any interest in common; most people today do not actually value or enjoy anything."
