The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection by Charles Darwin, right? I believe it said in my sciense book last year that in the late 80s early 90s it had sold over 8000 copies. Not sure about up-to-date sales though <3

The books, like every thing else, are evolving in terms of better understanding, comparing Darwin's conclusions with modern science, or printed on paper that was better than Darwin's. I would find it difficult to put a number on that.
