How much revenue...

Yamagata · 07-09-2003, 08:53 AM

I was wondering if anybody knows how much money The Fellowship of the Ring (preferably not all three of them together) BOOK (not film) has made? I have searched everywhere I can think of, but with no success. If anyone can help, I would be very grateful....

I only know that it was the second most successful book (LotR) of the 20th century.

Guess which book was no 1! (off topic, I know)

I belive the Bible was the only book that sold more then LotR?

I don't think so; in the paper I saw few weeks ago, the most sold books were the Bible and a strange bok from China. since the gov in China said that every chinese have to have that book... you can figure why this book is so widespread.

Lalaith · 07-13-2003, 07:43 AM

That's interesting .... because I have read about LotR that it was actually the second most sold after the bible ... strange

If it was a few weeks ago that would be the 21st century.

I heard that the diary of Anne Frank was the second most sold book of the 20th century, the only book selling more copies being the Bible. I'm probably wrong, though. I hope I am, because I'd like LotR to be second.

Someone please come and correct me.

No, the chinese book was from the 80's.

I thought it's the most sold Dutch book...

strange...

Lalaith · 07-13-2003, 03:20 PM

I thought Anne Frank was german .... okay, now I am confused. Stupid me.

Radagast The Brown · 07-13-2003, 03:23 PM

Anne Frank was born in German. But she wrote the book in Netherlands. I think that her father published it in Nehterlands too - that's why it's a Dutch book.

Oh, thanks for that information. I read the book. In which language did she write it?

I really don't know. But it translated to many languages. I read it in Hebrew. I'm pretty sure she didn't write it in Hebrew... I think she wrote it in German. Just because it makes sence.

Okay, I think that's for sure, she didn't write it in Hebrew.

Yah, I thought she wrote it in German ....

Opsie, we are a little off-topic.
