28. The Satanic Bible has never been out of print since being published in 1969
After several years of communicating his message through publicity stunts and raging debates with talk-show hosts, LaVey published the core tenets of the Church in 1969 in the form of The Satanic Bible. As you’ve probably gathered, it isn’t a bible in the true sense of being sacred, but instead is made up of essays, mantras, and rituals derived from LaVey’s wide-ranging and occasionally error-strewn research. LaVey’s notoriety and the title made it an instant hit, and to date, it’s been translated into 6 languages, sold a million copies, and gone through 30 editions without going out of print.
