Tan Man
I've always had a soft spot for Tan Books. From Cruz's Incorruptibles to Fr. Most's Catholic Apologetics Today, Tan is unapologetically impervious to the winds of ecumenical fashion. Tan appeals to my heart, Ignatius Press to my head. Some of their books strike me as a bit lacking in scholarship and/or even-handedness but they always tantalize. Who wouldn't be interested in "An Easy Way To Become A Saint" by: Fr Paul O' Sullivan, O.P.?
The latest catalog lists sales figures. Top seller is easily The Secret of the Rosary at 5.4 million. The low looks to be Julian the Apostate at 1,600 sold.
Some real surprises. I thought St. Therese's "Story of a Soul" would sell more than it's 90,000 even though that is an impressive number. "Purgatory - Explained by the Lives and Legends of the Saints" reached a whopping 400,000. "Popes Against Modern Errors - 16 Famous Papal Documents" seemed low at 6,000, a book I've been tempted to buy. "Catholic Prophecy - the Coming Chastisement" is at 210,000. Just the other day I was reading "The Glories of Divine Grace" at 13,000. "This is the Faith" has 110,000 sales in just 14 months.
