- Some positive news, it seems, for Christian publishers. Religious book sales were up 3.5% in December, according to figures from the Association of American Publishers (AAP) released today. That rise came as the adult hardcover category dropped 10%.
-
- Some of the growth can doubtless be attributed to the Christmas season, but it also may be evidence of the belief held by many in the Christian products industry that in tough times people are more inclined to look for spiritual help.
-
- We've been talking to Christian stores across the country about their experiences with consumers in the past few weeks, and will be reporting on what we learned soon. Meanwhile, to find more of the AAP details, go to http://www.publishers.org/
