you guys can merge it if you like. I saw the little factoid about it being the most published work on earth on TV recently and was wondering if that was true, and something of that popularity probably deserves it's own page.Patrickneil 18:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The colour proofs, not the catalogue, are printed by epson u-chrome printers, i edited out the unnecessary advertising along with the note. I think that the catalogue, as the most widespread book on the planet, deserves its own page-- Rocco

Merging Comments

I think this article (IKEA Catalogue) should not be merge with IKEA. As the article said, it is more popular than the Bible, the most widespread book. It's a world record. So I think it's a very very very very bad idea. I agree what Rocco said(the catalogue deserves its own page). -KMB-ATE1

I agree, the fact that IKEA-catalogue is printed in more copies than the Bible surely justifies its own page. If we merge "IKEA catalogue" with "IKEA", we would have to act consistently and merge "the Bible" with "Christianity" right? :-) --Mailerdaemon 16:39, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've revived this article after seeing it subsection in the IKEA article dwindle and the main ideas (such as the shear size of publication) became lost. I'll try to add more over the coming days and implement better references.--Patrick 18:37, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bible not non-fiction...

"...the Bible continues to be the most purchased non-fiction..." The Bible isn't entirely true. Is the Bible the most purchased non-fiction or fiction (or somewhere in between) book?

Good point. While the Bible isn't all true, and few from any major established church would argue that, it would be equally hard to find a bookstore that listed it under "fiction."--Patrick 18:37, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To say that the Bible is "not entirely true" is like saying that the Twin Towers had "some structural problems." Franc28 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 07:36, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrighted?

Is the IKEA Catalogue copyrighted? --88.76.251.165 (talk) 20:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bible vs. Catalogue

I've removed the statement that the Catalogue is the most published work of all time. Although it's true that it's published more than the Bible, which is the most published book, there's no evidence in the references that it is the most published periodical.
