A Book Is a Gift That Is Opened Again and Again

Give the gift of one NYRB Classic each month (to others or to yourself).

NYRB Classics are now available through our subscription book club—for gift-giving, reading groups, or simply for the pleasure of reading.

The editors will select one book each month from among our newest titles and send the selection postage-free to each recipient.*

There has never been a more inexpensive way to purchase this series of classics, described by Michael Dirda in The Washington Post as “amazingly fine in its choice of titles and in the design of the books.”

You may select a six-month plan for $85.00 or a twelve-month plan for $150.00. If you subscribe by June 15th, we’ll send you our June selection, Turtle Diary by Russell Hoban, a novel in which a man and a woman, each isolated and in despair are simultaneously seized with the desire to liberate turtles from the London Zoo. “A story about the recovery of life…like other cult writers—Salinger for instance, or Vonnegut—Hoban writes about ordinary people making life-affirming gestures in a world that threatens to dissolve in madness.” —Newsweek

Bonus book offer with one-year subscriptions
With a new one-year subscription, we’ll send you Fatale by Jean-Patrick Manchette. Should you wish to give a one-year gift subscription, we’ll send you Fatale and we’ll send the monthly selections to your gift recipient.

About your free book: An unholy original, Jean-Patrick Manchette transformed the modern detective novel into a weapon of gleeful satire and anarchic fun. In Fatale he mixes equal measures of farce, mayhem, and madness to prepare a rare literary cocktail that packs a devastating punch.
