Inman, William H. (2011) "Hotelier Saint-Exupery's Princely Instincts", Institutional Investor, March 2011. Gale document #A253314734, retrieved online from General OneFile, 6 November 2011 (subscription). Quote: "The Prince remains a king among books, with more than 200 million copies sold in more than 190 languages, making it one of the bestselling volumes of any kind."
《반지의 제왕》은 처음엔 작가가 한 권으로 내려고 했으나 초판을 인쇄할 때에는 2차대전 직후의 종이 부족으로 인해 3권으로 분리돼서 출판되었고, 그 뒤로도 한 권에서 일곱 권까지 다양한 형태로 출판되었다. 2007년 기준으로 어떠한 형태로든 소설 전체가 팔린 양은 1억 5000만으로 추정된다.
