The Best-Selling Books of All Time

This page provides lists of best-selling individual 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. Books like The Bible, The Qu'ran, and Quotations From Chairman Mao are placed at the end because there have no reliable sales records, but they are estimated to have sold in the billions (not including copies distributed for free).
