List of best-selling books

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page provides lists of best-selling single-volume books and book series to date and in any
language. "Best-selling" refers to the estimated number of copies sold of each book, rather than the
number of books printed or currently owned. Comics and textbooks are not included in this list. The
books are listed according to the highest sales estimate as reported in reliable, independent sources. This
list is incomplete because there are many books, such as Don Quixote, The Three Musketeers, Les
Misrables, The Adventures of Pinocchio, and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, that are commonly
cited as "best-selling books" yet have no reliable sales figures. There is a separate section on this page
for books known to have sold over 10 million copies but do not have figures for their final sales data.
The Bible, the Qur'an, and Quotations from Chairman Mao are widely reported as some of the most
printed and also some of the most distributed books worldwide,[1][2][3][4] with billions of copies of each
of them believed to be in existence. Exact print figures for some such books may also be missing or
unreliable since these kinds of books may be produced by many different and unrelated publishers, in
some cases over many centuries. All books of a religious, ideological, philosophical or political nature
have been excluded from this list of best-selling books for these reasons.

Notes
The Perry Rhodan series has sold more than 1 billion copies,[243] but is not listed because that figure
includes magazine sales, not novels alone. Similarly, the Jerry Cotton series has sold over 300 million
copies, but most of these were in magazine format.[244]
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien is included in the list as a single entry because it was written by
Tolkien as a single book.

Footnotes
1. ^ Some confusion and controversy is commonly attached to the publication data for The Little Prince and its
French companion Le Petit Prince. Saint-Exupry, its author, spoke almost no English and wrote exclusively
in French. His handwritten (and almost illegible) French manuscript was converted by his secretary into a
French typescript, which he submitted to his New York City publisher Reynal & Hitchcock in late 1942,
which was then translated to English by their own translator. The story was first published in New York in
English in April 1943, followed a week later by its French counterpart, Le Petit Prince. It was also licensed
for publication in other countries by Reynal & Hitchcock before being published by Saint-Exupry's normal
publisher in France after the end of the Second World War. Le Petit Prince would not be published in France
until its liberation, with Gallimard's first French printing in November 1945, which they say they did not
release for sale until 1946. In approximately 1947 Gallimard sued Reynal & Hitchcock claiming it had an
'exclusive' publishing agreement with Saint-Exupry (who was killed during the war), and later reached a
rights agreement with them.

6. ^ The Lord of the Rings is considered by most people to be a single book, because it was written and planned
by the author to be such. It is written in the preface to many editions that the book is sometimes 'erroneously'
referred to as a trilogy, and goes on to state that it is one book in three volumes. Some people consider it to
instead be a trilogy or series of three books, because it was originally published as a series of three volumes:
The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. Lord of the Rings
(http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/displayProductDetails.do?sku=5007234), Waterstones.com:
This move by the publishing house was due largely to post-war paper shortages as well as to minimize the
price of the first volume to aid sales.
Wagner, Vit. "Tolkien proves he's still the king" (http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/article/203389), The
Toronto Star, 16 April 2007: In subsequent printings the book has sometimes appeared as a single volume,
and in at least one case was split into seven. The figure of 150 million is a 2007 estimate of copies of the full
story sold, whether published as one volume, three, or some other configuration.

222. ^ However further 'Foundation' books were written by Asimov from 1982, extending the direct series to seven
books, however these four further novels tell two largely independent stories. Ultimately many of Asimov's
works join to form a single time line encompassing 20,000 years of future-history. To further add the extent
of the series, a 'Second Foundation Trilogy' of books by contemporary Sci-Fi writers also explicitly join with
the series.
