von Mises Book Bonanza!

I was tinkering around the Mises Blog last week and came across this entry where the Institute decided to sell off copies of Rothbard's Making Economic Sense for one cent because the books they have on hand have "brittle bindings" but are otherwise new.

So I decided to jump on the deal (especially considering the number of books I already own and haven't even started yet...), and was pleasantly surprised to discover many of the books they have for sale are very inexpensive.

So I went nuts.

For the low, low price of $38.76 (including S&H), I received through UPS:

1. Making Economic Sense by Murray Rothbard
   
2. Education: Free and Compulsory by Murray Rothbard
   
3. The Economics of Liberty by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
   
4. Economic Science and the Austrian Method by Hans-Hermann Hoppe
   
5. An Introduction to Austrian Economics by Thomas C. Taylor
   
6. The Philosophical Origins of Austrian Economics by David Gordon
   
7. Mises and Austrian Economics: A Personal View by Ron Paul

Seven works for less than $40. Most of them aren't book-length, but the breadth of the topics is what I need at the moment.

I read Congressman Paul's booklet first, confirming the belief in my mind that he's probably the only decent elected official in Washington, D.C. and even though the booklet was written in the mid-80's, the tone he takes with the Reagan Administration could be just as easily applied to the Bush Administration.

I started Taylor's Introduction book and didn't get far before it was Evangelion time, but I look forward to getting his overview and perspective before hitting the heftier works.
