Pope Benedict's books are selling fast
Demand for books by the new pope, the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, has quickly surpassed supply, with many of his works selling out. When fresh copies arrive, expect some changes.
"We'll indicate on the cover that he is now Pope Benedict XVI, who once was Cardinal Ratzinger," said Mark Brumley, president of Ignatius Press, a non-profit, San Francisco-based publisher that has issued the German-born Ratzinger's works in English for more than 20 years.
Numerous Ratzinger books have reached the best-seller lists of Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com, including "Salt of the Earth," "The Ratzinger Report," "Introduction to Christianity" and "Milestones," a memoir that covers his life through 1977.
A second volume of his memoirs is being translated, and Brumley said yesterday that other books are planned, including "Pilgrim Fellowship of Faith," which should be out next month.
