Print Edition
GUINNESS World Records has announced that the “Xinhua Dictionary,” which is published by China’s The Commercial Press, is the world’s “most popular dictionary” and the “best-selling book.”
As of July 28, 2015, the first modern Chinese dictionary published since the foundation of the People’s Republic of China on October 1, 1949, had sold 567 million copies globally, Guinness World Records announced at the presentation ceremony in London.
“Over the past year, our teams have completed extensive data investigation, collection and examination for these two records and we are delighted to verify that ‘Xinhua Dictionary’ is the most popular dictionary and the best-selling regularly updated book,” said Guinness executive Marco Frigatti.
“China Publishing Group has many time-honored member publishing houses and comprehensively recognized publications, among which The Commercial Press and ‘Xinhua Dictionary’ are typical examples,” said Tan Yue, president of China Publishing Group. “The most popular dictionary and best-selling book record titles themselves are the epitome of Sino-foreign cultural exchange.”
