Sales Up for Non-Fiction Books on Religion 2004-10-07

Posted by Peter Kirby at 10:50 AM | Permalink

An article in Reuters says, "Readers seek more religion amid uncertain times." From 2002 to 2003, the purchase of religious books rose by 50% so that the spirituality category now has 17% of the market, with about half of the sales coming from general interest stores (and the other half from Christian bookstores). And, apparently, almost half of this reading public is under 35. So where are these people? Maybe you can post a comment if you are a reader under 35 and especially if you live in Southern California, where I live and attend college.
