Pieces of Eight

Announcement from Edwin Vieira, Jr.:

Responding to numerous requests, I have tentatively arranged for a reprint of my book Pieces of Eight: The Monetary Powers and Disabilities of the United States Constitution (2d rev. ed. 2002).

In light of the current and accelerating meltdown of America’s monetary and banking systems, this book is more timely, and should prove more useful to public officials, public-policy analysts, attorneys, economists, historians, and patriots in general, than ever before.

This will be a first-class reprint of the original two-volume, 1,722+ page, hardbound and Smyth-sewn edition, protected during delivery in shrinkwrap. It will be produced by one of the premier book printers in the United States.

But this reprint of Pieces of Eight will be made available on a subscription-only basis, and only if a sufficient number of prepaid orders are received before a deadline date.

Here is the necessary information for purchasing Pieces of Eight: The Monetary Powers and Disabilities of the United States Constitution by Edwin Vieira:

Order Information

The terms of this special subscription are as follows—

1. The two-volume set will cost $149.95 plus $6.50 (shipping & handling), for a total of $156.45.

2. By no later than 31 August 2009, each potential subscriber must send

(i) a personal check for $156.45, made payable to
“Edwin Vieira, Jr.”, with the notation “book subscription”, and dated 31 August 2009;
and
(ii) a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Edwin Vieira, Jr., 52 Stonegate Court, Front Royal, Virginia 22630.

These checks will be held, but not cashed, until 31 August 2009.

3. If subscriptions in a sufficient number are received by 31 August 2009, printing of the book will be authorized. Probably about eight (8) weeks will be required for printing, with an additional short amount of time for shipment of the books from the printer to me.

4. As soon as practicable after I have received the books, they will be delivered to subscribers by United States Postal Service “media mail” (unless other arrangements, at an additional charge, are made prior to the date of shipping).

5. If subscriptions in a sufficient number are not received by 31 August 2009, this offer will terminate as of that date (and, presumably, for all time thereafter); and each potential subscriber’s check will be returned in the self-addressed, stamped envelope the potential subscriber has provided.

I should appreciate as wide a circulation of this information as possible.

Edwin Vieira, Jr.
