Which is indeed not the same as being the most read book (as evidenced by, say, 'A Brief History of Time' )

Excluding non-copyright works such as the Bible (with an estimated 6 billion copies sold) and the Koran, the worlds all-time best-selling book is Guinness World Records (formerly The Guinness Book of Records). Since it was first published in October 1955, global sales in some 37 languages have exceeded 100 million as of October 2003.
Hmmm. Doesn't really add-up to me. "The Lord of the Rings", for example, has sales in excess of 150 million.
