PERFECT SOWING

What They're Saying...

"So the Right's indispensable publisher was also a mind-grabbing author! Perfect Sowing is a must-read."
— Hugh Kenner, Franklin & Callaway Professor Emeritus of English, University of Georgia

"Here is the insider's story for the rebirth of the conservative movement and a fascinating glimpse into the world of publishing that launched it."
— William B. Eerdmans, Jr., President, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.

"Henry Regnery was a great gentleman, humane, and of sure literary taste. But what I appreciated most from his writings was his despairing realism, the trait of a commercial publisher who knew there would be no "money or glory" in halting the disintegration of our culture, but who tried nonetheless. Any book that celebrates Henry Regnery is a good thing, and Perfect Sowing is a very good thing indeed."
— H. W. Crocker III, author, Robert E. Lee on Leadership: Executive Lessons on Character, Courage, and Vision

"What [Regnery] did have, always, was hopehope that an individual's actions could make a difference for the good.... Against the pressures of conglomeration, a few old houses and even some upstarts, including the outlet presenting this volume, join in marching to an antique drum."
— Books & Culture

"…[T]hanks to the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and editor Jeffrey O. Nelson, we have Perfect Sowing to remind us of our enormous debt to a publisher and acute intelligence whose books were responsible largely for the bankruptcy of modern liberalism and the shape of the conservative movement in America."
— Crisis

"…[T]his collection could serve as a handbook for conservative speechwriters."
— Publishers Weekly

"Everything in the collection is well written, and nearly everything is flavorful, as appreciable for its literacy and craft as for its information."
— Booklist

"These pieces…reveal the quality of Regnery's prose style (lucid, vigorous, but never strident) as well as the depth and breadth of his mind."
— Chronicles
