The first book to be off the press was the Gutenberg Bible in the Latin version of Jerome's Vulgate. At December 31, 2007, the Bible, in whole or in part, had been translated into 2,454 languages. 95% of people now have access to the Bible in a language they understand. To days, an estimated 40 million Bibles distributed each year, including 280,000 in France.
This makes the book most read and most widely circulated in the world! The best-selling does not change from year to year.
In second place comes ... Ikea catalog!
