The Scholar's Edition will be available November 23, 1998. This is a re-release of the original, unaltered 1949 treatise that shaped a generation of Austrians and made possible the intellectual movement that is leading the global charge for free markets. Made available for the first time in decades, exclusively through the Ludwig von Mises Institute, this edition uses extraordinary materials and the best of modern technology, combined with ancient standards of craftsmanship in the tradition of Oxford University's Clarendon Press. This magnificent work is produced for the ages. • Carefully set in the classic, readable, and beautiful Jansen typeface, including the 1954, 30-page index prepared under Mises's supervision, the most extensive ever compiled; • Printed on stunning pure white, acid-free Finch Fine 50 lb. paper; • Covered in spectacular dark azure Odyssey cloth from the Netherlands, the finest natural-finish, moisture-resistant book fabric in the world; • Protected by a strong slipcase from the famous Old Dominion company, covered in matching Odyssey cloth and featuring old-fashioned thumb-cuts for easy handling; • Secured by the finest caliper Binders Board; • Graced with antique-stone endpapers from Ecologic Fibers; • Casebound with the strongest Smyth-sewn signatures; • Fitted at head and foot with silken endbands, thick wrapped for durability; • Complimented with a double-faced satin ribbon place marker, and portrait of Mises; • Stamped with brilliant, real non-tarnishing gold foil from Japan's Nakai International; • Produced at R.R. Donnelly's famed Crawfordsville Bindery, where America's finest books are assembled. All told, The Scholar's Edition looks exactly like the classic work it is, ready for a lifetime (or two) of use. The introduction, by Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Jeffrey Herbener, and Joseph Salerno—based on newly discovered archives—tells of the tragic and glorious history of this seminal work, and of its bright future as the manifesto of liberty.
