Best Answer

It was previously suggested that the best selling book in the world was a tie between the Bible and the Qur'an. However in the 21st century we know this is in fact not true.

There have been so many different versions of both books that to say they are the best selling is false, because they are not all the same variation. They may have the same title, but the contents have been twisted over time, so they are no longer "original". Unfortunately religious schools will still tell you that the bible is the best selling, which is false and incorrect.

The best selling legitimate book of all time is A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens.

The top 10 selling books of all time are:

  1. A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens
  2. The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R Tolkien
  3. La Petite Prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
  4. And Then There Were None - Agatha Christie
  5. Dream Of The Red Chamber - Cao Xueqin
  6. The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkien
  7. The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe - C.S Lewis
  8. She, A History Of Adventure - H. Rider Haggard
  9. The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
  10. The Catcher In the Rye - J.D Salinger
