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:

I also found an EPUB of "Instead of Dictatorship" by Henry Hazlitt on my hard drive, which I completed a few months ago:

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:

Over the past few days I worked on combining his version with mine in order to create the ultimate Fabian Freeway EPUB.

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.

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:

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."

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

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.

ThatOldGuy:

Presently, this is for the sake of repairing the EPUB version, the book can only be purchased through LFB.

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?

John James linked to it earlier in the thread, and I did link to it a few times for the Leonard Read books:

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.
