Incorrect?[edit]

The Bridges of Madison County is the largest selling novel in history with more than 60 million copies sold. I think this is incorrect. The Lord of the Rings has had considerably higher sales. In any case it is unsourced. DES 23:53, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that, among novels, the record is still held by Gone With the Wind. Many other novels have sold larger numbers of books than Bridges. In any case, no novel has ever sold sixty million copies. The best selling book of all time is, of course, the Bible. 207.237.240.221 03:09, 16 February 2007 (UTC) Allen Roth[reply]

I think that page for The Bridges of Madison County incorrectly states that the book has been sold in 50 milions copies, although it's correct in that it became a bestseller. A source: Bestselling books places the book among books sold in 10 to 20 milions copies stating that the book sold in 12 milions copies. So I have the temptation to correct the article. 77.79.222.138 (talk) 15:25, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
