Catholic Bestsellers Program
The monthly Catholic Bestsellers list creates a public awareness of Catholic bestsellers, promotes sales, and encourages reading. Graced reading increases faith knowledge and, most importantly, deepens and strengthens faith life, which finds its fruit in service to others.
The monthly Catholic Bestsellers program is a project of the Catholic Book Publishers Association. It began in May 1995 and its start-up was funded in large part by a grant from the Catholic Communications Campaign. Currently 600+ bookstores receive the poster and text of the list via e-mail.
There are four top ten lists on the poster: Hardcover, Paperback, Children & Young People, and Spanish language. Catholic News Service sends the list to Catholic newspapers and magazines. The list is also publicized in Christian Retailing magazine and online in Religion Bookline, the CBPA website, and the Roth Advertising website.
Data for the list is compiled from monthly reports of units sold by CBPA publisher members. The reports are sent to Roth Advertising Inc., which manages the Catholic Bestsellers project for the Association.
