May 31, 2015 at 18:06 comment added Tristan Bice I also had trouble tracking down this paper a while back. As Choi mentions, the counter-example consists of bounded Borel functions modulo those with meagre support. I guessed at the proof (basically as outlined in the book mentioned by Dashiell it seems) and posted it in answer to another question here - math.stackexchange.com/questions/856804/….

Jan 9, 2012 at 9:48 comment added Philip Brooker Further to my earlier comment concerning Rosenthal's paper, see Section 4 of that paper (i.e., Section 4 of On injective banach spaces and the spaces $L_\infty(\mu)$ for finite measures $\mu$, Acta Math. **124**(1) (1970), 205-248). There it is discussed how work of Haim Gaifman yields a stonean compact $K$ such that $C(K)$ is not a dual space. I think the relevant papers are quite easily accessible.
Jan 8, 2012 at 6:41 comment added Philip Brooker Just a quick comment, based on a rather hazy memory (I may expand on it when I have more time and can check for myself): look inside Haskell Rosenthal's Acta Mathematica paper on injective Banach spaces (late 1960s?) for an injective $C(K)$ space that is not a dual space; I believe that such a space is discussed there... maybe the $K$ there is extremally disconnected?
