LESSON 27
The best selling copyright book in the world, the fastest selling book in history and the highest earning author


Dave Hawksett: The record that we hold ourselves is for the best-selling copyright book in the world and, I think, the latest estimates are* that worldwide, since the book began in 1955, we've sold well over 90 million copies of the book.

As well as being the best-selling copyright book, we've also heard that it's the book that's most often stolen from libraries, but of course, that would be very, very difficult to prove and, obviously, not to be encouraged.

When the fourth Harry Potter book was released in 2001, it became the fastest selling book in history. It sold more copies in one weekend than any other book before it. 350 thousand copies in one day alone in the United Kingdom. The author of the Harry Potter books, J.K. Rowling, became the highest earning author.

* the latest estimates refer to the year 2002
