1,141,273 in actual fact, according to his publisher Hachette Book Group. Worldwide, Patterson has sold over 205 million print copies. According to an article in The Bookseller, Patterson said:
“Things have really changed in the digital space. With more and more people reading on iPads, Kindles, and Nooks, taking time to create interesting, user-friendly, enhanced ebook editions is becoming more and more important. And if e-books get people who might otherwise not be reading to pick up a book, then that makes me happy.”
That’s over 3 million books too many. What a horrible writer.
