Buy the Bookstore
Tired of shopping? Buy every book in the bookstore for $2000, which is 10% off. If this sounds crazy, consider that this is a wonderful luxury gift for your personal collection, local library, university, or for someone desperately in need of a complete philosophical overhaul. It is a lifetime of reading and study--and a collection that could save a mind and a civilization.

Wow. You guys do layaway? Rent-to-own? Seriously, that is a cool idea.

Xteve, don't you know that There's No Such Thing as Free Shipping? (teasing) But really sometimes people getting confused by the whole shipping thing. It is not something Mises charges. It is something the shipper charges and we merely accept what the software gives us.

Some information about the quantity would be nice. I don't have the patience to count the books by clicking at each category. It doesn't have to be complete but a short outline of the composition would be great.

It would be great to know which editions (e.g., Man, Economy, and State is "as is" and as The Scholars Edition) are included in the purchase or if they're ALL in the bundle.
Tips on bookshelves that can support all that weight would be appreciated as well! :)

Charles, you make a good point about MES and/or MES&PM. When we put the deal together, we just decided to include both: one a student paperback with just MES and also the Scholars Edition which is MES&PM. The addition of the paperback only adds $17 to the total price, and the deal is for the whole bookstore, so it seemed right to include it. It also seemed to be an unnecessary complication to add an option only on this one item--it would require a pull down, which is doable but something of a distraction. There are a few other possible options, e.g. Theory and History in paper or hardback. In this case, we took the hardback and excluded paper since they are otherwise the same.
Do you think all these details should be added to the store entry?

Ok, just counted the books. It is 121, a point now added to the entry.

Jeffrey,
Liberty Fund sent me a catalog, which indicated they're rolling out new editions of most of Mises' work, like the out-of-print Liberalism. What do you know about this? Will they be stocked? (certainly the out-of-print ones should be)

Yes, LibertyFund has been working with us on this. We are all very pleased that Liberalism will finally be back in print, probably in 2006.
