When a company's tagline is "tools for serious readers," it just makes sense that
good books should be among those tools. As with all Levenger products, books by
Levenger Press must be useful: they must both delight and inform the reader.
Most of our titles are available only from Levenger, making them some of the more
unique book offerings on the market today. A number of them are also collector's
editions—books to cherish all the more because they're available only for a limited
time.
Various Levenger Press books are in the collections of the
Newberry Library in Chicago, the Library of Scotland, Churchill College
Cambridge, Stanford University Library, Trinity College Cambridge, and the
Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt.

PAINTING AS A PASTIME
WINSTON S. CHURCHILL
We remember him best for his finest hour, but Sir Winston Churchill spent many hours
in front of a canvas, painting. His inspiring and witty
paean to painting—and to finding one’s Muse—had been out of print for years.
This new leatherbound edition includes reproductions of 10 of Sir Winston’s paintings
and something no other edition has offered: a foreword by his daughter
Mary Soames. If you are an admirer of Churchill, consider joining the International
Churchill Centre. Click here to see more at

Jack Lynch hands us more than 300 of the great lexicographer’s best bruisers,
along with anecdotes that show Johnson’s enviable facility for the sharp-tongued
retort. See Excerpts
and take our Insults Quiz.
