Hey.

Trying to get the hard skinny on the oft quoted phrase about:

"The Bible is the all-time best selling book."
"The Bible has continually stayed on the 'Best Seller List'."
"The Bible has stayed #1 on the Best Seller list."
etc.

What's the real deal here?
WHAT list is being referenced?
For what duration has the Bible been a best seller?
I'm looking for the hard facts justifying the loose quotes above.

My cousin asked this question yesterday and I was unable to get her a factual answer

Can anyone nail this down for me?
Is this claim true and in what way is it true?

Can anyone supply a site address from an "authority"
which substantiates this claim about "best seller status".

I would be eternally grateful.
