I am interested in finding out how many copies of the best-selling
book, "The Bible Code" by author Michael Drosnin were sold worldwide.
The book was published by Simon & Schuster in the U.S. in May, 1997,
and was published by 1998 in almost every language in the world.  In
addition to 1) world-wide sales, I particularly would like to know the
sales figures in 2) Japan and 3)Korea. 

I am a student of comparative religion and am investigating the
cross-cultural spread of Judeo-Christian religious polemics to the Far
East.

Hello researchbible

it's good to hear from you again !

I sent an email to my contact at Simon & Schuster, I explained why you
are looking for the data and I'm waiting for an answer.
In case they need your name to publish the data will you be willing to
give it to them ?

Hello again

just to keep you posted I got a this reply from Sarah C/S Supervisor
Simon & Schuster.

"
I have contacted my New York office to see if we can obtain the
numbers. It will be their decision as to whether or not to give them
out. I will be in touch as soon as I get an answer.

Have a great day!

Sarah"

We need to be a little more patient and see what happens

The review I found on this site here suggests that this book sold over
22 million copies worldwide.  Here's the link:

[http://ad2004.com/Biblecodes/articles/drosninbook.html]

The search term I used on Google:
"the bible code sold copies worldwide"
[://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=the+bible+code+sold+copies+worldwide]

I will let you know if I find anything regarding Japan or Korea.

I have tried and tried contacting different people at Simon and
Schuster and this seems to be a tightly gaurded secret. They will NOT
give the info out. If anyone else can find it, good luck!
