Re: Best Selling Books of All Time
Oh, and there aren't any regularly updated books. They aren't eligible even though their cumulative sales are all in the 100s of millions. So no Webster's Dictionary, Guinness Book of World Records, or the Boy Scout's book.

Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain.
I'm thinking that books that everyone reads in school will show up somewhere on the list.

Round 3:
Tahlvin - The Hobbit - #6 (20 pts)
Stan - Huck Finn - Made the list but fell short with 20m
Pete - Little Red Book - See below
Kyle - HP: Azkaban - #20 (6 pts)
Buckett - Fellowship (they include Lord of the Rings as one book) - #3 (23 pts)
Zen - Mien Kampf - Didn't make the list and they don't seem to mention it anywhere, which is odd
Eli - The Things They Carried - Didn't make the list
DMDarcs - For some reason (they did this with Twilight too) they only include series numbers and don't put it on the list. But a breakdown of the books has it at around 40m and falls just short of the list.
Phoebe - Tale of Two Cities - #2 (24 pts)
On the little red book: "However, the Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung, also known as the Little Red Book, has produced a wide array of sales and distribution figures — with some sources claiming over 6.5 billion printed volumes,[3] others claiming the distribution ran into the "billions,"[4] and others citing "over a billion" official volumes between 1966 and 1969 alone as well as "untold numbers of unofficial local reprints and unofficial translations."
I guess they decided to not include this in the list. They mentioned it up with the bible but I completely missed it or else I would have warned you all about it. My bad Pete.
