Laissez Faire Books
Laissez Faire Books (LFB) was a libertarian bookseller and publisher founded in 1972 by John Muller and Sharon Presley, and originally based in New York City. From 1982 to 2007, Laissez Faire Books operated as a division of the non-profit corporations Center for Independent Thought and Center for Libertarian Thought, both led by Andrea Millen Rich. Classic and contemporary works of libertarianism were published under the imprint Fox & Wilkes Books.
The bookstore's ownership passed to the International Society for Individual Liberty in November 2007, and archival records prior to ISIL's ownership were preserved by the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. In March 2011, Agora Financial acquired Laissez Faire Books but began using the brand for other purposes.
