Resources for Academics, Librarians, and Readers

Academics

NYRB books are creatively used in courses across disciplines, and many include introductions and translations by leading academics and recognized luminaries in their fields. Time and again they offer a rich contribution to classroom conversation.

Librarians

NYRB Classics are “…wonderful titles (both fiction and non-fiction) brought back to life by a publishing company whose mission, according to editor Edwin Frank, is to ‘rescue some of the many truly remarkable works of literature that have had the misfortune of falling out of print.’ As indeed they do. It’s almost as though NYRB read my mind and published some of the books I’ve most loved over a lifetime of reading: J.G. Farrell’s terrific novels (The Siege of Krishnapur, The Singapore Grip, and The Troubles) about British imperialism; May Sinclair’s quietly powerful Mary Olivier: A Life, set in Victorian England; J.F. Powers’ superbly comic Morte D’Urban; Hons and Rebels, Jessica Mitford’s memoir of her childhood; Rose Macaulay’s The Towers of Trebizond; and too many others to list here.” –Nancy Pearl, action figure, librarian extraordinaire, and author of Book Lust

Conferences
NYRB Classics and The New York Review Children’s Collection presents our books each year in the exhibit hall of the American Library Association’s Annual Conference. Our books are also displayed at other library conferences throughout the year through our distributor, Random House, Inc.
