I just wanted to point out some typographical errors I've found.

Most of the reviewers, including myself note typographical errors. I didn't compile a list like I did for Way to Willpower, but just to let it be known...

We actually have a wiki page for this exact thing! Would you be willing to create an account for yourself and offer your contributions?
Got it.
I saw a funny one last night:
I just finished reading Democracy: The God That Failed. In chapter 11, footnote 27 talks about Mises, Hayek, Rothbard and the perspective of each and then ends with "See also note 30 below."
There is no note 30 below.
If I had a cake and ate it, it can be concluded that I do not have it anymore. HHH

Now reading America's Great Depression.
pg. 141 "attachè" rather than "attaché"
pg. 297 uses "FRC" rather than "RFC" (Reconstruction Finance Corporation)
pg. 304 Missing capital letter after period:
The artifical cheap money policy in 1932 greatly lowered interest rates all-around, and therefore further discouraged the banks from making loans or investments. just when risk was increasing [...]
pgs. 325-6 uses "property right" rather than "property rights." Occurs on once on both pages.
pg. 327 uses "principals" rather than "principles"
The same errors were in the EPUB versions of those books, so I implemented all the changes that were mentioned.

I've just received WHGDTOM and there are typos there too!
Page 71, pagaraph 4: "Sometimes they will permitted banks to susppend payment, as in the compulsory bank "holidays of 1933.""
There was another typo - but I can't find it now,
Over the past week I have created EPUBs for these two books: Wealth: A Brief Explanation of The Causes of Economics Welfare By Edwin Cannan Erorrs in PDF: http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/MisesWiki:Typos#Wealth:_A_Brief_Explanation_of_The_Causes_of_Economics_Welfare EPUB Version: http://www.mediafire.com/?58r1qmdmdbcckvs The Twenty Year Revolution: From Roosevelt To Eisenhower By Chesly Manly Errors in PDF: http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/MisesWiki:Typos#The_Twenty_Year_Revolution:_From_Roosevelt_To_Eisenhower EPUB Version: http://www.mediafire.com/?cln5xuumszd2upd
Holy cow, Tex, you've been hard at work.
Also, that Miseswiki page looks @#$!ing amazing.
Thank you,

That will be a months long project... but could always use more eyes.
The wiki could always use some more typos though!!!! :D
Just a heads up, I have been working on EPUBs for Leonard Read's books. The PDFs are high quality scans, and short, so it is pretty quick to convert. So far I have taken care of 5 books: http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/MisesWiki:Typos#Accent_on_the_Right http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/MisesWiki:Typos#Awake_For_Freedom.27s_Sake http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/MisesWiki:Typos#Castles_in_the_Air http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/MisesWiki:Typos#Comes_the_Dawn http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/MisesWiki:Typos#Deeper_Than_You_Think These EPUBs are already submitted to the Institute, and in the pipeline.
All of these EPUBs are in the pipeline for official Mises covers/ISBNs:
Ouroboros or the Mechanical Extension of Mankind by Garet Garrett:
http://misesbooks.blogspot.com/2012/10/ouroboros-or-mechanical-extension-of.html
Accent On The Right:

Here are a few more from Hoppe's The Great Fiction:
pg. 296,
footnote 51 reads:
See on this (Kantian) idea F. Kambartel, Erfahrung und Struktur, chap. 3, esp. pp. 122 f., 144; Hans-Hermann Hoppe, chap. 4, esp. p. 98.
The reference to Hoppe does not specify what book is being referenced.
pg. 347-48, [emphasis mine]
Rothbard explained that all of these typically tortuous attempts ultimately only lead to the same inescapable conclusion: "implicit" and "conceptual" contracts are the very opposite of contracts, i.e., no contracts.
Should read "not contracts" or "not-contracts."
pg. 381, [emphasis mine]
Just as poor to rich, the childless does not stand in competition to those with children.
Improper verb-subject agreement.

Presently, this is for the sake of repairing the EPUB version, the book can only be purchased through LFB. Also, should the wiki page be linked to this thread?

The Wiki is more for the books sold/hosted on Mises.org, but I will send an email over to Jeff Tucker informing him of the typos. Thank you for more pointing out typos though!
ThatOldGuy: Also, should the wiki page be linked to this thread?
Also, should the wiki page be linked to this thread?
John James linked to it earlier in the thread, and I did link to it a few times for the Leonard Read books:
http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/MisesWiki:Typos
I see now. Still, I can also see the book being published here as well. I dunno.
I should have been clearer. I meant: should this thread be on the wiki page as a source or a place where potential readers can come to add links and such.
ThatOldGuy: I see now. Still, I can also see the book being published here as well. I dunno.
Indeed. As of right now it is under an exclusive deal with LFB, but yes, I have no doubt that the Mises Institute will most likely pick it up to sell in the store some time in the future.
ThatOldGuy: I should have been clearer. I meant: should this thread be on the wiki page as a source or a place where potential readers can come to add links and such. Ahhh.. that would be a great idea. I will add it to the top of the wiki right away.

"

you fool, it is written in the invisible ink!!!

Ah yes! The invisible ink! Of course!
Someone submitted a fixed EPUB of "Why American History Is Not What They Say" by Jeff Riggenbach. I fixed lots of typos/errors. It is now posted on the Mises Literature Section. It is a vastly superior EPUB than the one hosted previously: https://www.mises.org/document/6995/Why-American-History-Is-Not-What-They-Say If the person who submitted this EPUB reads the forums, I would like to thank you for doing great EPUB work. "Ouroboros or the Mechanical Extension of Mankind" just recieved a new cover today. Should be up in the Literature section soon, or if you cannot wait, go get the newest version on my site. Over the past week, I completed these Leonard Read EPUBs, which are also in the pipeline: Liberty: Legacy of Truth Seeds of Progress Students of Liberty Talking to Myself I have updated the Wiki so far for all these Leonard Read books: http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/MisesWiki:Typos#Leonard_E._Read
Since my last update, I have created EPUBs for these Leonard Read books (grab them all from my site):
Government: An Ideal Concept (grabbed a copy off FEE, not hosted on Mises) Pattern For Revolt (Not hosted on Mises) Romance of Reality (Not hosted on Mises) The Coming Aristocracy The Free Market and Its Enemy The Freedom Freeway The Love of Liberty The Path of Duty Then Truth Will Out To Free Or Freeze Vision Who's Listening Why Not Try Freedom
My EPUB of "Back Door to War: The Roosevelt Foreign Policy 1933-1941" by Charles Callan Tansill was posted on Mises:
https://mises.org/document/3130/Back-Door-to-War-The-Roosevelt-Foreign-Policy-19331941
Although if you grab it from my site, there is much less bloated code (no calibre conversion, is only missing a cover). Once I get my hands on the original cover, I will try to get the one on Mises.org replaced with the cleaner version.

I added typos for "Studies In The Theory of International Trade" by Jacob Viner:
http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/MisesWiki:Typos#Studies_In_The_Theory_of_International_Trade
and "Fabian Freeway" by Rose Martin:
http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/MisesWiki:Typos#Fabian_Freeway
The EPUBs can be grabbed from my website, and hopefully they will be in Mises's Literature section soon.
I would also like to thank progressinamerica for his HTML version of "Fabian Freeway". I finished a lot of the groundwork for the EPUB in September, but put it on hold because the PDF version has many pages with markings all over them (making it very hard to convert). On January 3rd, he contacted me to point out his HTML version of the book:
http://progressingamerica.freecapitalists.org/2012/12/19/fabian-freeway-table-of-contents/
Over the past few days I worked on combining his version with mine in order to create the ultimate Fabian Freeway EPUB.
I just finished an EPUB of "God of the Machine" by Isable Paterson. This was requested by a commenter "Jason" on my site:
http://misesbooks.blogspot.com/2013/01/god-of-machine-by-isable-paterson.html
Here are the typos:
http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/MisesWiki:Typos#God_of_the_Machine
I also found an EPUB of "Instead of Dictatorship" by Henry Hazlitt on my hard drive, which I completed a few months ago:
