Tip for the avid economics student

While I doubt the moderators here will not be pleased to tell you that I'm able to get "Recent Literature on Interest" by Boehm-Bawerk for half the price that the Mises Institute is charging. 

Of course, from what I've read elsewhere, you get what you pay for. It'll be a generic cover and the text will be a scan of the book as opposed to actual text, so it might be a bit hard on the eyes. There's also a 700 page limit, so unfortunately, I was not able to get a copy of Philip Wicksteed's "The Common Sense of Political Economy" which I've seen recommended elsewhere but has been out of print for some time. Same goes with Alfred Marshall's "Principles of Economics" which, sadly, is only avaliable in abridged form. Also, it's limited only to books avaliable on Google Books or the Internet Archive at Archive.org. Finally, in some cases, it's just cheaper to buy a new copy of the book (for example, a copy from this site charged about $12 for a copy of Malthus' "Essay on Human Population" whereas you can get a new copy off Amazon for $10). 

>I'm sure that the moderators will not be pleased for me advocating buying Austrian books from another site, but I think they can withstand a little market competition. Of course, as I said, if you were to buy from the Institute, you'll be getting a far superior product in terms of quality and probably supprting the Mises Institute as well. But if you're cheap, you can get readable economic classics at a low cost.
