	Second coming - Salon
		It was Entrekin who first called the Pocket Canons "the most radical approach to the Bible since Gutenberg." As I've said already, a single night at a terminally hip bar convinced me that he was right.
		The real importance of the Pocket Canons lies in their own lie, the act of cultural subversion that has Lauren chasing after John.
		But a deluge of 600,000 clever, jaunty Pocket Canons with their trumped-up hipper-than-thou posturing may just break the spell cast on the Bible by the fundamentalist right.

	Introduction - Pocket Catholic Dictionary
		So, too, precise references, often with quotations, are given for the Church’s doctrines, which may then be traced to their original sources, mainly in papal documents or the canons and decrees of ecumenical councils.
		Equivalent terms have not been multiplied beyond measure, but enough of them are available to help the reader find what is sought, perhaps defined under a heading different from the one that first comes to mind.
		The first and major part is the lexicon of terms, with close to two thousand, directly or indirectly dealing with Catholic faith, worship, morals, history, canon law, and spirituality.

		I've been carrying John in my coat pocket all week, ever since it came in the mail from Grove Press, along with the three remaining gospels, Genesis, Exodus and six more installments from the Bible, each individually bound in slick trade paperback.
		Probably it won't make much difference what they say: Even the planned first printing of 600,000 should be enough to put a Canon in the pocket of every post-ironic street cynic from Manhattan to San Francisco.
		Lauren has me thinking -- now she says she wants to trade me my Gospel for a drink, which she points out is twice as expensive -- that the fundamentalists should be nothing short of terrified.

	Boxset - The Pocket Canons - Series II - Canongate Home
		We all knew it was a great idea but none of us was quite prepared for the massive reaction that the Pocket Canons brought about.
		The simplicity of the idea, the quality of the introductions and the appeal of the format and design were always going to make the series an interesting publishing project but the response to it both nationally and internationally has been overwhelming and beyond all out expectations.
		A second series of Pocket Canons was something that we had always envisaged from the outset and the following pages reveal the line-up.

		In the Gideon Bible, belief is a necessary condition; in the King James Bible, as in Ovid's "Metamorphoses" or Gibson's "Neuromancer," suspension of disbelief is sufficient.
		And while both nonetheless certainly have their place, I suspect the primary reason for my aversion to the Good News Bible is a sort of false causality every bit as idiotic as it is potent: If I read the Good News Bible, I will grow fat and ugly.
		Just as the Good News Bible played on the Hollywood dreams of middle America, the Pocket Canons have to reveal more urban sophistication than Lauren has seen in her lifetime.

	The Pocket Canons Set: The Second Series Books of the Bible - Wal-Mart
		The publication of the first series of The Pocket Canons caused an international sensation, generating controversy and garnering headlines all around the world.
		Now the series continues with a set of ten more books taken from the King James Bible and packaged as individual, beautifully designed paperbacks featuring new introductions by prominent literary figures, from crime fiction author P. James to the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, the Dalai Lama.
		Engaging, provocative, and eminently readable, The Pocket Canons are more than "the Word made flash" -- they bring a fresh, new approach to the some of the world's oldest and greatest works of literature.

		Today, feelings again are being aroused as publishers, using creative new marketing strategies, are publishing a host of Bible editions that use unconventional formats or draw upon lessons from today's secular world to embellish the sacred text.
		Most notable are Pocket Canons - slender, pocket-size paperback editions of 12 biblical books.
		When the Pocket Canons first appeared in England, for example, the distributor pulled out of a deal to send them to bookshops and wrote to more than 18,000 clergymen to urge the withdrawal of the books.

		It was originally a speciality press focusing on Scottish-interest books, generally with small print runs; its most major author was Alasdair Gray.
		In 1994 it was bought out by employee Jamie Byng, using funds provided by his stepfather Christopher Bland, and began to publish more general works, including the highly successful Pocket Canons editions of books of the Bible, as well as the Payback Press and Rebel Inc. imprints.
		Among its most notable recent publications is Life of Pi, the first Scottish-published book to win the Booker Prize or to sell a million copies in its first year.

	THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO STEPHEN KING?
		Thanks to creative marketing that was masterminded by 29-year-old Jamie E. Byng, managing director of tiny Canongate Books Ltd., the ''Pocket Canons'' have gone back for a second print run in Britain, bringing the total copies in print to 900,000.
		But what really sets the Pocket Canons apart are the prefaces, penned by a wide range of thinkers and celebrities--Australian rock star Nick Cave on Mark, feminist writer Doris Lessing on Ecclesiastes, and atheist and evolutionist Steven Rose on Genesis.
		The campaign to suppress the Pocket Canons didn't work, but it did generate widespread press coverage.
