Mason,
You are always a fount of little known anecdotes, Mason, which I for one 
appreciate.
The book is part of the Hayek Collected Works series (I am the General 
Editor for the series) and reprints Hayek's 1951 book on Mill and 
Harriet Taylor. Sandy Peart, the volume editor, has written a superb 
editor's intro and provided many explanatory blurbs. At the back of the 
book we are providing related material on Hayek and Mill. The title of 
the Collected Works edition is Hayek on Mill: The Mill-Taylor Friendship 
and Related Writings. Chicago and Routledge will bring it out in early 
2014; the paperback Liberty Fund volume will follow soon thereafter.
Best,
Bruce
