July 20, 1964 Mr. N. Damascelli ETAS-KOMPASS Edisioni per 1'Informazione Economica S.p.A. Milan, Italy RE: Your letter 1 Luglio 1964 ND/Zf - 01271/LIB Dear Mr. Damescelli: We are replying to your letter asking about Italian rights on Dr. Ludwig von Mises's PLANNING FOR FREEDOM. Dr. von Mises is in Europe at the present time, and we wish to consult him before answering you. The writer plans to be in Europe in September, and plans to see Dr. von Mises at that time at a meeting of the Mont Pelerin Society in Semmering, Austria, and I may have an opportunity of talking to Dr. von Mises about the matter at that time. In the meanwhile we do send you a copy of the book. Originally we published it in a hard cover, but presently it is only available as a paperback. We are not general publishers but are translators of only a few works, including the large three-volume work of Eugen von Bohm-Bawerk entitled CAPITAL AND INTEREST in English and KAPITAL UND KAPITALZINS in German, and also another volume entitled SHORTER CLASSICS OF BOHM-BAWERK containing five of his principal essays. We are enclosing information on these books. Very truly yours, Frederick Nymeyer FN:wb
