Anexo:Libros ms vendidos

Este anexo provee una lista de los libros ms vendidosen cualquier idioma. El concepto de ms vendido (usual-mente expresado mediante el trmino superventas) se re-ere al nmero de copias (o a una estimacin del mismo)que se han vendido de cada libro, y no a las que fueronimpresas o distribuidas gratuitamente. No se incluyen enesta lista ni cmics, ni libros de texto. Tampoco aparecenobras polticas, como las de Mao Zedong o religiosas, co-mo la Biblia, el Corn, el Libro de Mormn o Qu ensearealmente la Biblia? que han sido distribuidas gratuita-mente, indicadas en el anexo correspondiente a las obrasms distribuidas. Los libros se listan segn las ventas m-ximas estimadas y reportadas por fuentes independientesy dedignas.Hay varios casos, signicativamente el de El ingenioso hi-dalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha (Miguel de Cervantes,en espaol, 1605-1615), para los que se suele reclamarun gran nmero de ejemplares vendidos a lo largo de lahistoria, presumiblemente el dato ms alto de la lista,[1][2]pero para los que ninguna fuente able da una cifra con-creta. Para los casos ms modernos de las series deHarryPotter (J. K. Rowling, en ingls, 1997-2007) y Crepsculo(Stephenie Meyer, en ingls, 2005-2008) el problema esque no se hallan cifras de ventas de cada libro por sepa-rado, tan solo las del total de la coleccin, lo que obvia-mente no es comparable. Un clculo aritmtico elementallleva a la conclusin de que si las cifras totales de las se-ries son correctas, al menos un ttulo de cada una debieraentrar en el rango de esta lista.

[1] El Seor de los Anillos se suele considerar un libro nico,pues eso fue lo planeado y escrito por el autor. Sin embar-go, hay quien habla de l como una triloga porque fue pu-blicado originalmente en tres volmenes: La Comunidaddel Anillo, Las dos torres y El retorno del Rey. La decisinfue tomada por la editorial, por la escasez de papel en laposguerra y para facilitar la venta del primer volumen conun precio menor. En reimpresiones posteriores el libro haaparecido en un nico volumen, y, al menos en un caso,dividido en siete. La cifra de 150 millones es una estima-cin de 2007 de copias vendidas de la historia completa,publicada en un volumen, tres u otra conguracin.

[2] Discutible: las copias podran no haber sido vendidas, puesla referencia entrecomilla sold.

[24] An early press report claimed that more than 72 millo-nes copies of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"had been sold within the rst 48 hours of publication(New 'Potter' sells 72 mil copies worldwide. Holly-woodreporter.com. 24-07-2007. Archivado desde el ori-ginal el 2007-08-23. Consultado el 31-08-2009.). Howe-ver, there has never been any evidence provided for thisclaim beyond the original source and it is almost certainlyan error. All follow-up sales gures (for instance, thosediscussed on the separate entry for "Harry Potter and theDeathly Hallows") are consistent with total sales gureswell below 30 millones during the rst month of publi-cation. For example, according to Scholastic publishers,

3there are only 14 millones copies of the American edi-tion currently in print, and not all have been sold. At thesame time, sales of the American edition were originallyreported to be comparable to or greater than the numberof copies sold of the British edition. As of 18 Septem-ber 2007, fewer than 4 millones copies of the British edi-tion had been sold in the UK along with a comparablenumber sold in other countries (Allen, Katie (19 de sep-tiembre de 2007). Sprechen Sie Potter? How Harry isspreading the Ingls language. London: Guardian. Con-sultado el 31-08-2009.). Thus the total number of copiessold as of September 2007 appears to have been appro-ximately 20-25 millones. Translations into other idiomasbegan appearing in late September 2007, substantially in-creasing the estimated number of copies sold worldwide.In June 2008, Forbes magazine reported sales had reached44 millones.
