Description via the Easton Press:

"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest."

This groundbreaking work of economics and free-market capitalism ranks among the most influential books ever written.

Hello, thanks for sharing the unpackaging of "The Wealth of Nations".  I was wondering if this is a complete and unabridged version of the first edition?  Or was it gutted and missing parts of the original book?  Thanks in advance for your reply!

Yet another great review of a beautiful book! Just love the crackling sound of a book opened for the first time:-)

Is this an abridged version of the text?

Can you tell me if Easton Press retained the old printing style of using "f"s instead of "s"s in many cases?

For example, in an edition I bought the second paragraph of the 'Introduction and Plan of the Work' section contained "fupplied" and "neceffities". I appreciate the dedication to tradition, but it ended up being too much of a headache to read.
