Yeah?! Well, so does the NRO Book Store! And we also ship free to gift recipients. And we also include a nice gift announcement card. And we’ll even put a personal message on it. So phhhtttt on Tiffany’s and its baubles.

We recommend the following great Christmas gifts, obtainable here and now and securely, from NRO:

For new and beginning readers, and toddlers who need sweet stories told to them when they’re tucked in, The National Review Treasury of Classic Bedtime Stories – both volumes — are yours for the one low price of $29.95. This really makes a great gift to a family. Order here.

Ditto for our acclaimed two-volume set of The National Review Treasury of Classic Children’s Literature. For only $29.95 you get over 1,000 pages of terrific tales (personally selected by Bill Buckley) written by Jack London, Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Mark Twain, L. Frank Baum, and so many more literary giants. Order here.

Also, for older kids there’s the beautiful (I’d go so far as to say “gorgeous”) boxed set of Howard Pyle’s classic collections: Pepper & Salt and The Wonder Clock. These delightful tales are lavishly illustrated, and make ideal gifts for kids who love to read. Again, the cost is just $29.95. Order the Howard Pyle set here.

You love Florence King? Of course you do! Get her two acclaimed NR collections, Stet, Damnit! and Deja Reviews. The set costs only $34.95 — that’s right, you get both of these hard-cover delights (perfect gifts for the curmudgeons in your life!) for this one low price. Order here.

You love Jay Nordlinger? Of course you do! Get his brand new collection, Here, There & Everywhere, for only $21.95. (BTW: Jay will gladly sign and inscribe copies if you so desire!) Order here.

You love Bill Buckley? Of course you do! Get his new book, Cancel Your Own Goddam Subscription: Notes & Asides from National Review, for only $24.95. Order here.
