Vikingtravelpress,

I found a number of articles that state how many of copies of the book
?Under the Tuscan Sun? were sold in the United States. I don?t think
these figures are up to the present; however these articles have been
published in the last months of 2003 and the beginning of 2004.

Would this information be a satisfactory answer to your question?

Thanks,
Bobbie7

Bestseller List. It has been translated into 15 different languages,
with further translations planned, and also is a bestseller in the
U.K., Australia, Italy, France, Spain, Israel and Holland. But while
the film producer had enjoyed the engaging memoir of an American poet
and literature professor who carved out a new life in the Tuscan
hills, he had not considered it for film treatment.?

?Mayes? book sold two million copies in America and was translated
into 15 languages. In the transformation from book to film, the
whimsical quality of Under the Tuscan Sun has survived and the film
emerges as a rather gentle and comic romance.?
