I don't quite know what you are saying. I'm not sure iof the "essays" included are edited in the OWC edition, but the entirety of Book I is edited out, around 200 pages.

I have the OWC edition... it only takes parts out of PPE? or does this concern other essays in it as well?

Hey, thanks! I was aware of the Liberty Fund's pdf, but not that other.

Why do you think Oxford omits so much of the book? My first inclination was that it must be politically motivated. Obviously, with no evidence.

Thing is, I might be on to something:

"Capital, by persons wholly unused to reflect on the subject, is supposed to be
synonymous with money. To expose this misapprehension, would be to repeat what
has been said in the introductory chapter. Money is no more synonymous with capital
than it is with wealth."

From Book One, Chapter Four, "On Capital" (Book I is left out completely because Oxford cares about misconceptions)

J.S. Mill Principles of Political Economy

Does anyone know where a copy of this book can be had in its entirety?

The Oxford World Classic edition seems to be (a.) the only mass market in print and (b) missing something....I'd implore anyone reading this to click this and find out what OXFORD leaves OUT of a book.

FYI, I found a copy from the 1890's, but it is like $3,500 and in three volumes. I just want one to read not to hoard and would prefer one volume. I'm also trying to avoid some 3rd rate 'createyourownbook' publisher sold through Amazon.
