Harry Santorum and the Goblet of Hellfire. Still more insane right-wing publishing adventures are in the works:
"After years of publishing titles that catered to an academic readership, ISI Books is capitalizing on the invigorated market for right–wing books and its own recent successes by launching two new series," notes Christopher Dreher in a Publishers Weekly report. Dreher says "the small conservative house located in Wilmington, Del.," will introduce "a line of original translations of contemporary and classic works," starting with the publication of an Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn title, his first new work to appear in English in eight years. Dreher says "ISI will also branch out into children's books," starting with "an anthology edited by Karen Santorum, wife of Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum, and The National Review Treasury of Classic Children's Literature, edited by William F. Buckley Jr."

Previous misadventures in right-wing publishing include the Book-of-the-Month Club and Penguin and Random House, the two largest publishing houses.
