Review and Herald Book Department

By I. A. Ford

DURING the first four months of this year, our sales in this department, wholesale value, amounted to $33,422.33 as against $21,496.11 last year, or a gain of $11,926.22, or 55½ per cent. These are wholesale figures as taken from the treasurer's books. A few of the books which have entered into this are as follows:—

“Best Stories,” 1,713 copies.

“Bible Readings,” 5,209 copies.

“Bible Footlights,” 2,486 copies.

“The Coming King,” 886 copies.

“Daniel and the Revelation,” 1,154 copies.

“The Great Controversy,” 746 copies.

“Past, Present, and Future,” 1,410 copies.

“The World's Crisis,” 67,259 copies.

“The Shadow of the Bottle,” one week's sales, 2,936 copies.

These are only some of the leading books. The sales are increasing month by month. During the month of April there were sold 1,840 copies of “Bible Readings,” 140 of “The Desire of Ages,” 235 of “Daniel and the Revelation,” 367 of “The Great Controversy,” 9,338 of “The World's Crisis,” 2,936 of “The Shadow of the Bottle.”

We have never published anything else in book form that had such a large circulation in so short a time as “The World's Crisis” and “The Shadow of the Bottle.” These little books are being circulated by our ministers, Bible workers, and lay members. Although they are small and inexpensive, yet they contain a message of vital importance to every person at this time.
