Dear John,
This is fun . . .
A fun email for me to write, and I hope a fun one for you to receive:
Right now you can get 50% off every ISI book.
ISI’s Holiday Sale has become an annual tradition. That’s because every year excited readers say things like:
- “There’s a great sale going on at ISI”
- “Sweet sale, y’all”
- “I purchased several books this morning that have been on my wish list for a while”
- “What a deal!”
If you’re anything like me, you don’t love shopping but you do love finding thoughtful gifts for family and friends.
Well, here’s your pain-free and affordable way to do it . . . or to build your own library!
Wondering where to start? How about with these reader favorites:
- What So Proudly We Hail: I’ll just say it: this book is a must for your library. In a recent Wall Street Journal column, Peggy Noonan rightly called it “a stupendous compilation of the best things said by and to Americans.” The selections cover everyone from Mark Twain to Flannery O’Connor, from George Washington to Theodore Roosevelt, from Benjamin Franklin to Irving Berlin. Noonan said that she “opens it every night at random and always finds something valuable.” This is a gem. Don’t miss it.
- Modern Age: If you’re interested in the ideas that drive conservatism—not just shout-fests on cable TV—then Modern Age is for you. In our contentious and confusing times, this journal exposes you to the best ideas that conservatives of all stripes are wrestling with. Read it and you’ll understand out why Modern Age circulation has tripled in just a couple of years.
- The Solzhenitsyn Reader: Nobel Prize–winning author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was a truly monumental figure. And in this one volume you get (as the Chicago Sun-Times puts it) an “expansive, convenient ‘greatest hits’ [that] fills a gaping void on the shelves for those interested in dipping further into Solzhenitsyn.”
- The Divine Plan: This book is now the subject of a major documentary film! The Stream calls The Divine Plan “an inspiring account of the friendship between Pope John Paul II and President Ronald Reagan.” The two leaders bonded after they nearly died from assassination attempts a mere six weeks apart. Together they committed to confronting the great evil of the twentieth century: Soviet Communism.
- Conscience and Its Enemies: Everywhere you see it happening: assaults on religious liberty and traditional morality are growing fiercer. Here, at last, is the counterattack. Robby George, one of America’s most influential thinkers, explodes the myth that the secular liberal elite represents the voice of reason. Commentary calls Conscience and Its Enemies “brilliant,” and the Washington Times says you won’t find “better, or more consequential, commentary on the modern crisis.”
- Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child: Here Anthony Esolen shows why the American Spectator puts him “in the top rank of authors of cultural criticism.” This brave and bitingly funny book is an indispensable guide to overcoming today’s ugly trends in parenting and education—and the overwhelming banality of contemporary culture.
- Conservative classics: Today there’s so much confusion and conflict that it can be hard to say what conservatism means anymore. If you’re seeking answers, it can help to return to classic books from great thinkers like Russell Kirk, Robert Nisbet, F. A. Hayek, and William F. Buckley Jr.
And that’s just the beginning. You’ll find nearly 200 books to choose from—all for 50% off.
I hope this Holiday Sale lets you find gifts that are both thoughtful and affordable.
Best,
Jed Donahue
Editor in Chief, ISI Books
