The books are listed according to the highest sales estimate as reported in reliable, independent sources. This list is incomplete, since there are many books such as ''[[Don Quixote]]'', ''[[The Three Musketeers]]'', ''[[The Adventures of Pinocchio]]'', ''[[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]]'', and the individual ''[[Harry Potter]]'' books which are commonly cited as "best-selling books" yet have no reliable sales figures.
