Where's the Bible? It should definitely be like top 3 combined, in terms of sales
Tyler Wood
No exact figures, apparently.
Brandon Gutierrez
it might not count as 'single volume'
Nicholas Taylor
I'm surprised that How To Win Friends and Influence People only sold 15 million. It seems like the kind of pleb shit that'd have pushed 100 million copies easily.
William Torres
is this worldwide? if so it's kind of surprising is how few some of these books have sold when they seem to be utterly ubiquitous. for example- the great gatsby, 25 million since 1925. doesn't every kid in the usa read that at school?
never heard of the poky little puppy. it sounds awesome though.
as well as the bible the other big omission is chairman mao's book

A lot of schools will have their own copies of texts, so 3000 kids might read the same 30 copies over a couple generations.

How is the Lord of the Rings considered a single volume?
Connor Moore
Where the fuck is Don Quixote?

LOTR is one book. it was only originally published separately cause of a paper shortage.
