December 20, 1966 Professor Ludwig von Mises 777 West End Avenue New York 25, N.Y. Dear Professor von Mises: We have finally received finished copies of HUMAN ACTION. I will have two sent to you separately. The regular editorial copies, I believe, go to Yale University Press. The book, I think, turned out very well. When we reprint, which I hope we shall do before too long, I think we should use a darker binding, but that is no great matter. The type is good, the printing clear, and I hope that there are a minimum of errors - it was certainly carefully proofread. We have shipped an order for 500 copies to Leonard Read at FEE, and have a fair number of orders from bookstores and others, all of which are going out now. I was glad to have had the chance to see you and your wife, if only briefly, at the FEE Meeting. My wife was sorry not to be able to come, but she was spending the weekend with her mother, who is now 88 and still very well, in Philadelphia. She joins me in sending our warmest regards to your wife and Henry you and our best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. Regnery Sincerely yours, Company PUBLISHERS HENRY REGNERY 114 West Illinois Street Chairman of the Board Chicago, Illinois 60610 HR:dz 527-3300
