Third-place

[Charles C Doyle]

I just saw a news clip related to the American Library Association and the recent book fest on the Washington mall.

Reported to be the third-best-selling book of all times (behind The Bible and Chairman Mao's Little Red Book) was "Webster's Dictionary."  Do you suppose they counted all dictionaries with the word "Webster" or "Webster's" on the title page?
