LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- Philosopher-novelist Ayn Rand's manuscripts and letters will be auctioned Nov. 18 in Los Angeles.
About $700,000 worth of the author's letters, drafts of articles, and novels totalling 5,000 pages will go on the auction block.
The novels include Rand's literary output between 1962 and 1974, including 29 original manuscript pages from "Atlas Shrugged," one of the novels synonymous with Rand's name.
Included will be 61 pages of handwritten notes for a 1961 speech and letters to friends and colleagues.
The Los Angeles auction, held by Butterfield & Butterfield Gallery, will be simulcast in San Francisco and Illinois.
