. . . in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer this weekend. Writes reviewer Bill Virgin:

“For many conservatives of today, the formative public figures were politicians such as Barry Goldwater and Reagan. For some of us, though, the most significant influence was William F. Buckley, as we recited from a sort of greatest hits collection ‘Quotations From Chairman Bill’ (a play on and rebuke to Chairman Mao’s little red book, a favored text of would-be suburban revolutionaries of the time … well, you had to be there). As he retires from the public eye (having given up the TV program and the management of the magazine he founded), ‘Miles Gone By’ is a valuable reminder of just what it was that drew people to Buckley as a writer and a person, then and now.”

Sweet. You can order your own copy of this acclaimed book, personally autographed by WFB (he’ll be in today wielding his trademark red pen) direct from NR, here.
