The Quran has sold over eight hundred million copies worldwide, while the Book of Mormon and the American Spelling Book have sold more than a hundred million copies each. Even the Chinese “Quotations of Chairman Mao Zedong” have sold hundreds of millions of copies. However, no definitive system exists to track how many books have been sold in each country. Instead, historians look at historical records. There are no religious texts in history that have sold more copies than the Bible, the Quran, and the Book of Mormon combined.
Agatha Christie
One of Agatha Christie’s BESTSellers, After the Funeral, is a classic murder mystery that is sure to thrill her readers.
