The two top '''bestselling books of all time''' are the [[Bible]] and ''Quotations from Chairman Mao'', each at about 6 billion published copies apiece.

The top-tied '''bestselling books of all time''' are the [[Bible]] and ''Quotations from Chairman Mao'', each at about 6 billion published copies apiece.  It's a great shame that, realistically, there's no reliable way to separate the two chart-toppers by discounting copies bought or kept purely to evade the adverse consequences of being discovered not to have one - if there were, one suspects that the Holy Qu'ran might not have made it into the top three, either.

Included in the top 25 are books by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] and [[C.S. Lewis]].  [[Lew Wallace]]'s ''Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ'' is thought to have sold 50 million copies which falls just below the top 25.<ref>https://publishingperspectives.com/2010/09/top-25-bestselling-books-of-all-time/</ref>
