Anybody who hasn't done so yet needs to start reading some of Ron's books. I have followed him for about 3 years and read/seen most of his columns and speeches, but his intellect is much greater than I had even imagined from just seeing those. I read his short "Mises and Austrian Economics: A Personal View" (http://www.mises.org/books/paulmises.pdf). Last night and was absolutely blown away. Mises has a lot of his stuff up there for free and I'm going to get to work on reading his stuff.

If your local public library does not have any of his books it might be worth a recommendation, especially if you mention on the recommendation that he is running for president so they will know that there is probably an interest. Libraries tend to buy books that people recommend, and it has been my impression that people who read the library books seem like the type who would vote.

I think the only one easy to purchase would be the newest one.

All of Ron Paul's books are in the Ron Paul Library. Four are free to download :) and there is also a link to the official website where you can buy his newest book.

Well, I wouldn't call that "all" as you don't have the Ron Paul Money Book or the New Money Survival Guide, but I applaud your efforts.

Thanks for letting us know about these books. They are now listed in the library. The Money Book appears to be out of print, but it looks like you can still find copies of the Survival Guide on the Internet. We'll check and see if we can find a source to download these as free PDF's. Please let me know if you've got any more information on these or other books by Ron Paul.

Hmm... digging a little deeper here.

The Money Book and the New Money Survival Handbook are both 335 pages long and both are published by Plantation Publishing in 1991.

Two names for the same book?

Neither are listed in the Library of Congress, but there is a book called the Money Book by Paul Erdman, 1984 -- obviously, not our man.

Does anyone know if there were actually two books published by Paul in 1991 (from a source other than Wikipedia :) )?

Thanks for the help-

Thanks for the help-

The New Money Survival Handbook was published in 1993 by Ron Paul & Associates, Inc. It is 56 pages long.

The Ron Paul Money Book was published in 1991 by Ron Paul & Associates, Inc. It is 334 pages long.

I will post pictures of the covers if I can find my USB connection for my digital camera. (I recently moved so I am not quite sure where it is.)


edit: They are published by Plantation Publishing but the copyright is under Ron Paul & Associates, Inc.

Excellent! Sounds like you've got actual copies in front of you, which beats Wikipedia any day.

Thanks for the help -- the library has been updated with your verified information.

Capitalism,

Thanks for posting the covers (and the scene from The Lion King).

I noticed the cover pages say Plantation Publishing. Do you happen know how they are related to Ron Paul & Associates? Maybe the same? Which is listed as publisher in each book?

Thanks for clarifying this. The Internet is full of contradictory info on these books and I would like to get right for the library.

You're welcome. The books do not have nearly as much publisher information as most books do. All it does is list the copyright as Ron Paul & Associates, Inc. and the back mentions Plantation Publishing, whose address is 637 W. Plantation in Clute, TX 77531. I wish I had more info, but that's all.

I'll go with Plantation Publishing then.

Thanks, and good night!
