Just seen an interesting list of “best selling single volume books of all time” over at Wikipedia. I don’t know how this list was produced, but here are a few things that caught my eye:
1. The Bible: read it here or here
5. Thomas Cranmer, Book of Common Prayer, (1549): read 1662 edn. here
6. John Bunyan, Pilgrim’s Progress, (1678): read it here
7. John Foxe, Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, (1563): read it here
11. J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, (1954/55)
33. Westminster Shorter Catechism (1647): read it here
