jtucker:

just another note to renew this offer. We've had a good response but more could be involved.

Live blogging is really hard. takes time and work but it is a great system for both learning and spreading information.

If I was too participate, I don't think I'd be able to alleviate my guilt and consider that I had "paid you back" so to speak, unless I wrote some kind of masterpiece. Haha.

I think I'll enter the frey in good time. Just once I believe I have sufficiently educated myself in the Austrian school of thought.

Is there a time limit on this offer at all?

Cheers Mr Tucker

Neurotic clarification, by "proper website" I meant any website not on a Mises domain, meaning not a Mises blog.

Such as Blogger, the various free forum software people use, Wordpress or self-hosted. Those would be "proper websites".

No offense intended to anyone or their web presence.

I asked for The Driver by Garet Garrett.

Jon Irenicus:

It's some insider humour from another site we're on. Basically he's saying he doesn't have a proper website.

Ah, ok.

You can do this with any book. Look broadly through the store.

Does this mean one can read any book then claim a book of similar price? If so, it's an interesting prospect!

I went straight for the mother of all treatise, Rothbard's Man, Economy, and the State, with Power and Market.

As for Against Intellectual Monopoly book, it is the most mind-blowing economic book I ever read. By the end of the book, I was already an abolisionist. I read it 2-3 times over. In anycase, it been a long time since I read the book.

How many books would we be allowed to obtain freely and blog on? Is this perpetual or a one time deal?

Those of us with proper websites.

ryanpatgray:
Or perhaps we should have a forums section devoted to posts about books or where people can post links to their blog entries about books they are reading.

I have an undeveloped domain that could be used for this.

Jeffrey, I always planned to do this (book reviews), but as Jon mentioned, once I read a book I'm less likely to pick it up again.

I've got my eye on a couple works, and I'm wondering if we can get affiliate IDs for the store. Those of us with proper websites.

This is a fantastic idea, although I would make a suggestion or two from my past experience. Make sure they know where they are going to blog it. See if they have ever blogged before. About 5 years ago, I had a business that sent out samples for review. Even when qualifying that my reviewers were somewhat legit, I never had more than a 70% review rate. Although I am sure you understand there may be a loss factor at work here.
