Back to Dickens and Wikipedia; if Tale of Two Cities sold 200 million copies, how come - in the list of best selling all time authors - is Dickens only credited with total sales of... 200 million? I can't believe nobody's ever read Oliver Twist or A Christmas Carol! Dear old Wikipedia can be very suspect.
Can the 200 million figure be true?
Wiki is, after all, edited by all and sundry, so should only be used as a source for further research
Well said,and of course were proper records of sales kept from when these books were released back in the 19th Century? |

How did you get on with it David at your A LEVELS and how long was many years ago ? 
I thought it was a stunning book, one which was in part responsible for my decision to study French and Spanish literature at university. And since you ask, it was.... ahem! 30 years ago  |
