What the press has said about NYRB Classics ...

In 1999 the New York Review of Books launched the most ambitious publishing program in America. Today, with 100 books reissued in its Classics Series, we can also call it the most spectacular. Its roster of authors is a literary who's who: Balzac and Chekhov, Stendhal, Pasternak and Colette, Henry James and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Its titles encompass such universally acclaimed works as the Richard Hughes novel A High Wind in Jamaica and Robert Burton's classic omnibus, The Anatomy of Melancholy. In addition to wealths of insight and writerly skill, these books share something else: All were long out of print. They are reminders that even high achievement is no guarantee of immortality in the crowded realm of literature.. —J. Peder Zane, Raleigh News & Observer

In these faith-testing times, I've found something that deserves unwavering belief—the New York Review of Books publishing house. Nearly everything it does is nearly perfect. hear hear. You'll marvel at the editorial choices—forgotten travelogues that turn out to be journeys themselves, nonfiction ephemera rescued from ferociously unfair obscurity and deceptively short novels, like O'Brien's, that remind you of the reason you like reading to begin with. The reason, of course, is that it's a rare pleasure to find something that breathes new life into the same old stories that life constantly re-enacts. —Daniel Handler (a.k.a. Lemony Snicket) Newsday

NYRB Classics is a terrific reprint line—really amazingly fine in its choice of titles and in the design of the books. —Michael Dirda, The Washington Post

Congratulations to NYRB Classics. . .they have been putting out an extraordinarily good list lately, and I have been torn as to which one to choose. —Nicholas Lezard, Guardian

Overall the collection is faultless. —Vogue

For the past four decades, The New York Review of Books has tirelessly championed liberal causes. It comes, therefore, as a welcome surprise that the magazine's new book-publishing imprint—New York Review Books Classics—is performing a nonpartisan service, excellently. —The National Review
