Last month two big New York publishing houses announced they were starting new imprints to offer 15 conservative titles a year. Adrian Zackheim, who will be heading up the unnamed imprint for Penguin, told Publishers Weekly, "It's a category neglected by mainstream houses."
Random House's imprint, Crown Forum, kicks off its line next month with Ann Coulter's book Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism. Random House's Steve Ross developed the idea for the conservative imprint after working with Ms. Coulter on her book Slander. That bestseller "posits the existence of a liberal slant so organic to so many of our American institutions that we don't even recognize it as such," Mr. Ross told the Los Angeles Times. "In working with her and thinking about the meticulous way she made her case, I came to recognize that what she was saying is fundamentally true with regard to book publishing."

Good business decision. Conservative books always lead in sales.

Did they just figure out that there is a market for these kind of books?

Of course, the recent run of conservative books riding the top of the best seller lists had no impact on deciding to get into the pool. It's all about seeing the light, not making a buck.

Kudos to Regenery. Hope they made their big bucks. While I detest the idea of libs now tapping the market, that disdain is countered by the exposure the right view will get due to their greed. They will market these books as they must, and that is good...

Anyone catch a whiff of sulpher, maybe a little brimstone next to the editor's desk? Is the red ink of the contract signature water based or somthing a little thicker?

Regnery was publishing conservatives long before it was cool. Remember that before giving your money to publishers whose credentials are less venerable.

I'm more interested in the book itself than who publishes it.
