  Thanks for PDFing it. I bought the book back in 1991 or so, as part of a grab bag of Austrian economics books that included Socialism. I even got one of those 11-oz LvMI coffee cups and a year's subscription to the Free Market as premiums. Re-reading it will be a walk down Memory Lane - although I have to admit that the only essay in it whose title I remember clearly was "Why Murray N. Rothbard Will Never Win The Nobel Prize!".

  "Last book for the day"?!
  
  

  It's been fast and furious with the Adobeized tomes lately and, speaking if I may on behalf of the more impoverished of the Austrians and Austrian sympathizers out here, we are eternally grateful.

  Jeffrey,
  I was looking over my copy of this last week, in search of an article on land and natural resources ownership which I had remembered was there (by Jeffrey Paul) and will echo your comment on the excellent scholarship in this collection. Between Mises.org, Liberty Press and Google Books, there is coming to be a large collection of libertarian and pro-free-market works online.
  Thanks1!
  Just Ken

  Ah, every time I stop by at mises.org, the more I appreciate the work you are doing, Jeffrey! I buy dozens of books per month, but still can't afford to buy all I want. It's good to sneak a peek at a PDF. Danke, twv

  I keep a set of all the pdfs I can find on my computer (just in case, yknow?) and post them up on my school's fileserver, so I got a kick out of some guy grabbing all 70+ books from me yesterday. Credit to Mises Institute of course; I'd hate to miss directing someone to the ultimate resource!

  I echo the thanks of everyone above.

  Also note: http://thepiratebay.org/user/xyzzy8 has torrents for several LvMI books (if you already have downloads of the works listed, please seed!)

  Another great resource - aside from Mises and Liberty Fund's online library - is Google Books. With a mixture of sheepishness and pride, I confess to having 843 Adobe .pdf books now and Google's responsible for a good part of those. From Google, I've downloaded books by William Graham Sumner, Herbert Spencer, Frank Taussig, Simon Newcomb, Benjamin Anderson, Moritz Bonn, Garet Garrett, H.L. Mencken, and Sir Norman Angell among many others.

  Jeffrey, thank you for the PDF file, this book I bought in Laissez Faire Book Shop in New York, back in 1989. I read it in the beginning of the 1990s.

  This was the first time I came in contact with the writings of Hans-Hermann Hoppe.

  In those days Rothbard was already my hero, but Hoppe I did not know anything about. I noticed, though, that Hoppe was a golden asset for the libertarian movement. His logical rigorism was unique, amazing and very much needed.

  You've managed to jog my memory, Björn. In the same order from the LvMI, I also got Mark Skousen's The Structure of Production, which prompted me to chase down Hayek's Prices and Production and Monetary Theory and the Trade Cycle in the dust-ridden shelves of the university library.

  I should note, given the subject of the thread, that the first book in which I read about the ABC was America's Great Depression by none other than Murray N. Rothbard. Skousen's part of the Rothbard tribute is chapter 12.
