TAN Books & Publishers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TAN Books & Publishers is a traditional Catholic book distributor and publisher. It was founded in 1967 by Thomas A. Nelson and is based in Rockford, Illinois. The company's name is taken from Mr. Nelson's initials.

TAN was founded in order to fill a vacancy in the Catholic book market created by the disappearance of many old Catholic publishers, such as Bruce Publishing and Benziger Brothers (among others). Many of TAN's books are not originally typeset, but photoreproductions of earlier versions — often from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The company now has over 400 titles in print.

TAN Books & Publishers should not be confused with the Tennessee-based publisher, Thomas Nelson.
