As the economy stumbles into the light (we hope), religion publishers got some good news from the Association of American Publishers November sales report (see Short Takes in this issue). The category bested adult trade overall both month over month and for all of last year. Some big new books should help keep the momentum going as they climb both religion and general bestsellers lists. New ventures should also bolster the health of the category and bring fresh ideas to the business. All of us are looking forward to a better year in 2011, and in its first month there are reasons to be encouraged.
