Playing the imprimatur game can be as delicate as finding a publisher for a first novel. A classic case involved The Layman in the Church, a collection of essays from Commonweal magazine that was published by Herder and Herder in 1962.

A sequel to Anathema, Garaudy's 20th Century Marxism, is already a bestseller in France, one month after publication...
...Roman Catholic philosopher who was born in Spain and now teaches at St. Michael's College of the University of Toronto, the trouble is not so much with God as with the language used to describe him. What Christianity needs, Dewart says in The Future of Belief (Herder & Herder; $4.95), is to "de-Hellenize" its thinking, abandoning concepts of God derived from Greek and Medieval philosophy that are out of accord with the contemporary experience...
