And if I can’t, I bet my late NR pals, Linda Bridges and Bill Rickenbacker, can. As part of our moving effort, we’ve uncovered a box containing 20 copies of their acclaimed 1993 classic, The Art of Persuasion: A National Review Rhetoric For Writers, which Bill Buckley called “sheer enjoyment,” and it was. And it was more than that: What Linda and Bill R. concocted was a truly guide on how to grab, surprise, please, amuse, and persuade the reader.

Which I hope I have done, at least when it comes to getting you to part with $12 for an in-excellent-shape copy (the out-of-print paperback is selling for over $40 on Amazon!) of The Art of Persuasion. Our price will include shipping and handling, and because we just happen to be in a certain mood, I’ll throw in a sweet and patriotic National Review lapel pin. Order at the National Review Store, here.
