I'd really like to get my hands on this book. The big problem is right now it's only available through the Mises Shop, meaning I would end up paying more in shipping than the book is priced (I live in Europe). Also in the past I purchased books from the Mises Shop and, while the service was absolutely spotless, I ended up being charged with very hefty import duties because, for whatever reason, the declared value in US $ ends up being converted in euro on a 1:1 basis (I had the same problem with goods dispatched from Hong Kong, Japan and other places). Of course filing a complain has led to nothing because customs are always right and getting a refund will take years.

So... does anyone know if the book will be published in Europe (in Engish, Spanish or French) or made available through an European seller? Thanks.

What about coming to the Supporters Summit in Vienna in September and having the Mises Institute bring along a good load of those books to the summit?

It's free in pdf form. Just saying.

That's tempting: Vienna is only a few hours ride away from here with some great roads in between. We'll talk about it later in the year as I still need to define my schedule.
In the meantime I'll take up Dave's advice: my problem with eBooks of any form is that I am a book collector and have this obsession with owning the original paper thing. smiley

Lucky you!

Slightly longer ride from up here north of the Skagerrak.
