The following is a list of the bestseller single volume
books of all time, according to Wikipedia. A bestseller or best-selling book
refers to the number of copies sold – not the number of copies printed. Also,
the list does not differentiate between different languages of the same book.
The list excludes comics or textbooks as they are not proper
books. Moreover, the list excludes the Bible, the Qur’an, the Gita, the
Communist Manifesto and Quotations from Chairman Mao which are all reported as
the most distributed books in the world, but there are no exact figures as some
of these books are printed over centuries and by different sources
1. A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens – The best
seller of all time was first published in 1859 and since sold around 200
million copies!

comments2. The Lord of the Rings, by J. R. R. Tolkien - First published in 1954, the book has already sold 150 million copies! Tolkien is the only author that has 2 titles in this list. The book is sometimes sold in volumes – mostly 3 volumes (as in the original publication) but it is known to be sold in as many as 7 volumes! The figure 150 million refers to copies of the complete story sold
