What are the Top Selling Books of All Time


The American Spelling Book is listed as a top selling book in some lists. While one can still purchase this book, it is not currently a frequently purchased book. Some tie this book with the series The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Narnia series by C.S. Lewis. Other lists include these as children’s books. What can be said of these books is that they have each sold in excess of 100 million copies.

Other lists show the Harry Potter series as third of the top selling books with 400 million copies. The debate about whether a series constitutes a book in terms of listing the best selling books is still raging.
Book lists for the top-selling books have included the following books:

The Bible
Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse Tung
The Harry Potter series
The Lord of the Rings
The Chronicles of Narnia series
The Guinness Book of World Records
The World Almanac
The Da Vinci Code
The McGuffey Readers
American Spelling Book
