I commend Chairman Feinstein and her staff for their diligence in seeking a truthful accounting of policies I hope we will never resort to again." --Senator John McCain "Melville House is betting that there's enough interest in the Torture Report that people will want to have it in book form." --Rachel Maddow, MSNBC "The book business in 2015 is pretty much a crapshoot, but it's hard to believe that even the canniest insider could've predicted the sales success that indie publisher Melville House has had with the Senate Intelligence Committee Report on Torture ." --Vulture "A tiny Brooklyn publishing house printed a 50,000-copy run of the Senate torture report--and it's flying off shelves faster than The Goldfinch ." --Entertainment Weekly "Given the swift and harsh condemnations of CIA interrogation tactics, the Torture Report is sure to top nonfiction charts for months to come -- mark my words." --Bustle "If you were wondering why it's important that indie presses exist, HERE, THIS IS WHY." -- Portland Mercury "A watershed moment in contemporary publishing." -- Flavorwire "It's quite the important and powerful idea: that simply repackaging material can make it more accessible and can perhaps make it last--truly last--in the way we need to know and remember it." -- Ploughshares "[Melville House is] continuing the critical work of publishing important documents." -- Shelf Awareness "Small but conscientious Melville [House]...is rushing to get the report out promptly." -- Library Journal
