[Hannah] More and her co-workers cleverly disguised the Tracts to look like the immoral and seditious literature the books were expected to replace, and like the others were to be sold by hawkers in the streets; to that end they were given racy titles and decked out with attractive woodcuts. Because of the money Clapham had raised the prices were as low as a half-penny each, and in quantity much less. The sales were unprecedented. In the first six weeks three hundred thousand copies flew out the door; by the end of the first year two million had been sold.
