INDIVIDUALISM: A READER

[George H. Smith]

http://www.amazon.com/Individualism-Reader-George-H-Smith/dp/1939709636

My new book, Individualism: A Reader (an anthology that I co-edited with Marilyn Moore and for which I wrote the Introduction), is now available from Amazon. This is the first in a series of Readers to be published by Libertarianism.org. The second will be Critics of State Education: A Reader. (This is nearly completed.) The third will be on Herbert Spencer. Subsequent volumes are still in the planning stage, but Marilyn and I will keep churning them out until L.org pulls the plug.

Since there is no "Look Inside" feature on the Amazon page, here is the Table of Contents:

Individualism: A Reader. Edited by George H. Smith and Marilyn Moore. With an Introduction by George H. Smith. Published by Libertarianism.org, 2015.

Congratulations and satisfaction to you two on bringing this one together and those to come. They look to be quite rich and an enduring help.

I should add that the official release date for the Individualism Reader is April 7, though Amazon appears to be shipping now. But when the book is officially released, a free digital download will be available, along with an audio version of the book.

I will snap up your Spencer book as soon as it is published. Spencer is one of the more interesting intellectual of the late Victorian period.

I think all these readings are professionally done.

correct me when if I'm gone wrong

I think all these readings are professionally done.

Some are good, some aren't. Jeff Riggenbach is always good, and would be an ideal choice for this material, IMO.

correct me when if I'm gone wrong

I already have a full time job.

[George H. Smith]

Marilyn and I are now proofing the narration for the audio version of the Individualism Reader. I don't know when it will be available, but it shouldn't be very long.

The narrator is James Foster, the same guy who narrates the podcast versions of my Excursions Essays. He reads well and has a pleasant voice. I am happy with the job he does with my Essays, though some mistakes have crept in here and there.

I received a copy of the book two days ago and started reading it. I like your style. Very clear, very well documented. you are a scholar. I will produce some kind of critical review after I have finished it, but I am enjoying the reading thus far.

George, you are very good at your craft.
