"A small publisher that is a national treasure, responsible as they are for republishing or translating so many of the most astonishing books over the last two decades" -The New York Times
"The series.... specializes in one-offs rather than oeuvres, in pleasures rather than obligations. The classics of NYRB Classics are not classics in the sense that they are canonical; they are classics in the sense that they have no reason for being revived other than that they are somehow still alive, and so constitute a canon all their own."-- Tom Junod, Esquire
"...I would like to have the feeling that I am discovering lost treasures, even though these treasures have been necessarily dug up by someone else.... And that, more than anything is what the NYRB series offers..."-- Wendy Lesser, The Guardian
"NYRB Classics-- one of the very few happy innovations in contemporary publishing. --Benjamin Schwarz, The Atlantic
"...amazingly fine in its choice of titles and in the design of the books." --Michael Dirda, The Washington Post
"Be grateful for second chances and head to the shore with any one of these slim paperbacks." --Town and Country
"Congratulations to NYRB Classics ... they have been putting out an extraordinarily good list lately, and I have been torn as to which one to choose." --Nicholas Lezard, Guardian
"We all owe the people at NYRB Classics a great debt of thanks." --John Garvey, Commonweal
"Sometimes the second time's the charm in publishing... New York Review Books [is] finding unlikely success in the overcrowded book industry by turning out reprints of decades-old titles. Some are even getting noticed by Hollywood." --The Wall Street Journal
