"Best selling"" refers to the estimated number of copies sold of each book, rather than the number of books printed or currently owned.
 Comics and textbooks are not included in this list.
 The books are listed according to the highest sales estimate as reported in reliable, independent sources.
 This list is incomplete because there are many books, such as "The Betrothed" by Alessandro Manzoni, "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas, or "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, that are commonly cited as "best-selling books" yet have no reliable sales figures because of the many public domain re-releases.
During the run of the TV series "The X-Files", many books based on it were released, written, including novels based on episodes, a series of comic books from Topps Comics, and many "official" and "unauthorized" non-fiction books.
