UK
Contrary to what certain publicists would have you believe, 50 Shades of Gray is not the UK’s best-selling book of all time. It is, according to Nielsen Bookscan, the fifth, nestled right in the middle of a Harry Potter and Dan Brown sandwich. Yes, the best-selling book of all time in the UK is Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, which beats out Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by a not-insignificant margin. The first book on the list not to be written by J.K. Rowling, Dan Brown, Stephenie Meyer, E.L. James or Steig Larsson is Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones, clocking in at #19, followed by Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, at #20.
