Newsstand Outlets Service New York Commuters: In early August "Plain Truth" newsstand magazine displays were installed in 59 New York subway and Long Island commuter stations. Every day, hundreds of thousands of commuters frequent these stations. They will now have an opportunity to become acquainted with the "Plain Truth" magazine. Over 30,000 "Plain Truth" magazines per month are expected to be distributed by this program.
“Mystery of the Ages” Book Update: In addition to the positive response of God's Church to the "Mystery of the Ages" book, we are now receiving book reviews in certain magazines and newspapers.
The prestigious LIBRARY JOURNAL recently recommended the book for both "public and religious collections." Public and school librarians refer to recommendations in LIBRARY JOURNAL as a guide to determining which books to purchase. Every year over 40,000 new book titles are printed in the U.S., but less than one in 10 receive reviews. Sales of Mr. Armstrong's book have reached what our New York publisher described as "good sales for a hardcover religious book" in nonreligious bookstores.
Some of the leading chain stores now carry the book for sale. The local Waldenbooks store in the Pasadena mall is featuring a large wall display highlighting Mr. Armstrong's book alongside James Michener's latest novel TEXAS.
Mr. Armstrong has now received wide media exposure as a renowned book author. Inquiries have been received from other publishers who desire to know whether the book would be available for commercial paperback distribution or foreign-language translation and distribution.
