The Bible is the best selling book of all time and year after year tops the best selling list by a long way.
I understand the second best seller is the Guiness book of records, but I dont have any figures sorry.

Yes, and even before printing, too. There are only a few manuscripts of ancient Greek scholars, but they are still considered reliable and accurate. There are thousands upon thousands of Old testament and new Testament manuscripts. And the oldest ones are in close agreement with the later ones; new material was not added.
The differences between the Dead Sea Scrolls, for example, and the oldest manuscripts after those amounts to a couple words here and there and most of those differences are along the lines of spelling 'color' or 'colour'. Same word, spelled slightly differently. The meaning and intent is not changed.

So how come you at the instantaneous are not in contact about how a procedures more suitable a number of timber are reduce right down to grant a procedures extra paper for all the different books printed each and each and every three hundred and sixty 5 days? Your aspect is unnecessary, because timber are a renewable source. Cheers Chrales P.

yes it is the most printed book.
I've been taking classes in Graphic Design, and yes this is the most widely published book throughout the printing press history and even before the printing press - it is printed the most.
It was also being printed long before the Guinness book was even thought of and conceived.

Yeah, I would certainly say it was. They started way back and kept adding to it as stuff happened, and then the Jews kept reprinting it. And look at our oldest copies--dont have many otherones that old, or is there even any others printed in as many different languages?

Yep, it's also the most shoplifted book. That's irony.
