Publishers around the U.S. are repackaging texts, rolling out new titles, and ramping up publicity for books related to Pope Francis in preparation for his historic visit to New York, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia from September 22nd to the 27th.

Along his trip, Pope Francis will visit the White House, Congress, and the United Nations. He will also participate in the World Meeting of the Families 2015 where he is expected to talk about marriage and family as well as the environment. As a result, several U.S. publishers are lining up relevant titles for release from August through October. PW has compiled a list of the offerings coming from an array of publishers, along with information about each.
