No Shame Press, which has brought you such titles as:

"Toilets of the Rich and Famous" by Dominick Dunne

"The Law As I Understand It" by Alton Maddox

"My Story, This Week" by Dick Cheney

"Seduction The Rick James Way"

"How To Co-Author A Book (By Letting The Other Person Do Most Of The Work)"
by Alexander Cockburn and Sammy Terry

Is now proud and excited to present:

"Letters To A Young Conformist" by Christopher Hitchens

In this brash follow-up to "Letters To A Young Contrarian," Hitchens takes
his acolytes from going against the status quo to embracing it with both
arms. 

"One cannot truly appreciate conformity," Hitchens writes in his
introduction, "without first playing the part of the contrarian. It is like
the dichotomy between pleasure and pain, only more profitable."

In a series of brief but explosive letters, the one-time iconoclast shows
you how to take state power at its word, how to find humanity in the most
corrupt and deceitful places, how to adopt a mainstream stance while
pretending to be skeptical, and how to, as a sideline, compose extended
captions for glossy photos of Hollywood mediocrities.

"Make my arguments your own, and while I can't guarantee journalistic
success or acceptance by genteel elites, I may allow you to run my website."

"Letters To A Young Conformist" will be released in June 2003 (author book
tour and weekly appearances on "Hardball with Chris Matthews").
