The fun fund!

Cross posted at Political Arguments.

A word of praise to the Liberty Fund, Inc.! Three days ago I ordered Michael Oakeshott's On History and Hobbes on Civil Association. Two days later they were waiting at my door. Granted, I'm in Chicago and they ship from Indianapolis, which is hardly a world away, but I've known merchants in the Windy City that take three times as long to get their wares out of the warehouse, let alone have them delivered. And Liberty Fund never charges shipping (at least in the US)!

The books are quality paperback editions, at a more than reasonable price. And the selection is delightful: lots and lots of classics of political and legal theory, more than a few of which are online. Go have a look, will you!
