It's long [5,000 titles, and took me an hour to read.]
Quite a few surprises, and some entries that amused me [such as Rosemary Sutcliff outselling modern writers of Roman Historicals.]
Just goes to show how misleading hype can be. I had always thought Simon Scarrow was the no.1 selling writer of Roman historicals. The top selling title however belongs to Ben Kane [who I prefer far more.]
