The Law by Bastiat is one of the best little books on economic basics. The BN Publishing paperback edition of this classic is a rip off - even at three bucks. I read it a couple of years ago and felt there was something fishy with the text. I went to the Mises Institute site where they have a PDF collection of Bastiat's writings and sure enough, tons of typos in the BN book - even a whole missing section!
I highly recommend you check out a version put out by the Mises Institute. Personally I own the Foundation for Economic Education published paperback edition of "Essays on Political Economy" and have read both The Law and What is Seen and What is Not Seen and have not found any problems of typos or missing text. It also contains about 7 other essays by Bastiat.
Beware of these bargain publishers who rip incorrect versions of old books off of websites and fail to proofread it before they cheaply print it.Get more detail about The Law.
