The Ayn Rand Letter was published monthly from October 1971 to February 1976. It was rather different in format from its predecessors (The Objectivist Newsletter and The Objectivist). It presented a single major article per issue, in the style of a typewritten letter. It was originally published fortnightly, but Rand's ill health caused the letter to become increasingly behind schedule, ultimately having issues dated for September 1974 but published in mid-1975. In 1975 the The Ayn Rand Letter officially went to a monthly schedule, promptly dropped to a bi-monthly schedule, and then ceased publication. Rand was the publisher, editor and the author of most of the articles, although Leonard Peikoff contributed some articles as well.
The table below lists every issue of The Ayn Rand Letter (chronologically), followed by the titles of any articles or other items from that issue (excepting articles carried over from previous issues), the author, and the issue in which the article ended (if the article is carried over). (For more details about how these listings are organized, read the notes.)
