  Whoever designed the book cover deserves to be praised.

  All the covers coming out of the Mises Institute are very, very good. Who does these Jeffrey?
  This book is coming up on my queue. I have the old green generic libertarian book press copy. Dang!! I know, I know, it all about the content of the book, not the cover, but the LvMI is making the covers almost worth the price of the books.

  These are all designed by Chad Parish, who handles our media. A man of many hats!

  They are beautiful, but I wish you'd publish everything in a "standard" format - with the same form factor, colour scheme, etc., so they look nice on my shelves...
  (And BTW, every book should have one of those bookmark ribbons attached!)

  I heard that ?(Martha Stewart, I think) bought the complete set of Loeb Classical Library editions as interior decoration for her daughter's house. Isn't it a pity Martha can't do the same with the LvMI publications because they're all different sizes and shapes and colours? :)

  Well, that's just the point. Uniformity suggests that the books are for decoration only. A wide variety of sizes and colors shows that they are collected and read with care to their contents. It is more real life. In fact, I find it hard to imagine that anyone would be so tacky as to use those uniform editions as decorations. What an obvious hoax!
