After being frustrated with relying upon textbooks on the History of  
Economic Thought and not being able to find a readings book, I did a cut  
and paste job from the major works between Plato and Keynes.  Then,  
through our bookstore a company by the name of Copytron secured  
permission for publication and did the  photocopying.  The result is a  
nice product that sells in our bookstore for about $25.  I passed a copy  
along to HarperCollins, but they were not interested.  The last good  
readings book was Source Readings in Economic Theory, published by Norton  
in the 1950s.  It covered the entire shooting match quite nicely.
