Encounter Books

Encounter Books is an American conservative book publisher. It is an activity of Encounter for Culture and Education, Inc.

Encounter Books publishes serious non-fiction books, with a scholarly leaning, in the areas of history, religion, biography, education, public policy, current affairs, social sciences, and politics.

Encounter Books was founded in 1997 in San Francisco, by Peter Collier. Collier resigned in late-2005, and Encounter Books was taken over by the commentator Roger Kimball, who is also co-editor and publisher of "The New Criterion". Kimball moved Encounter Books to New York early in 2006.

Encounter Books has published scores of well known writers, including Ward Connerly, Theodore Dalrymple, John Fund, Victor Davis Hanson, Peter Hitchens, David Horowitz, Leon Kass, William Kristol, Melanie Phillips, Wesley Smith, Thomas Sowell, David Stove, and Keith Windschuttle.

In 2008, Encounter Books saw one of its titles appear for the first time on the New York Times Best Seller List with Climate Confusion, by Roy Spencer; it peaked at #18. Soon after, Willful Blindness by Andrew C. McCarthy made the Times list as well.
