Hey guys, I was on Wikipedia the other day reading about the bestselling books of all time, and to my surprise Animorphs was not featured on the list.
The list even includes bestselling series of all time as well and can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_books#List_of_best-selling_book_series . I did a little research and couldn't find a definitive number of total copies sold anywhere, but I did find this: "According to the publisher, Animorphs, which debuted in June 1996 with much promotional fanfare, had a significantly stronger initial sell-in than did any other Scholastic series, including Goosebumps and the Baby-sitters Club. Now approaching the 10-million-copy in-print mark, Animorphs resides at the top of PW's children's paperback series bestseller list, where booksellers predict it will roost for the foreseeable future." from an article published in 1997 (also om Wikipedia).
Can anyone find the total number of Animorphs books that have been sold?? If 10 million were sold that early in the series release, I think that there is a good probability that the entire series has sold over the 15 million mark required to make it into the list of all-time bestselling books....
