Subject: Free Objectivist Books for Students
Jason Crawford is an Objectivist who blogs at The Rational Egoist. He has
created a website which acts as an exchange between students who would
like to read one of the books in the Objectivist canon and individuals
who are willing to provide the book or books to be read. His site
is simply called:
Free Objectivist Books
for Students
Here is a bit of what Jason has to say about this project:
About this site
This site gets donors to send Objectivist books (books by
Ayn Rand or about her philosophy of Objectivism) to
students who would like to read them. Our goal is to get
more students reading Ayn Rand.
How it works
Students create a simple public profile with their name and
school, and say what book they want to read. Donors browse
a list of students and choose which ones they want to send
books to. The donors send the books to the students
directly.
Can I donate used books?
Yes, used books are fine.
Do I have to mail the books myself?
Can I just buy them online?:
Yes, that's fine. Many donors buy books on Amazon or
AbeBooks and ship them directly to students. No need to
pack boxes or visit the post office.
What will you do with my info?
Your public profile shows only your name and city (and for
students, school and area of study). Students and the
books they want to read will be displayed publicly on the
site so that donors can find them and fulfill their
requests.
Your email address will be used by us to contact you, but
will not be displayed publicly. For students, your mailing
address will only be shown to the donor who sends your book.

If you are interested in spreading the philosophy of Objectivism, this
is one straightforward and reasonably inexpensive way to participate.
