I heard recently that Telushkin's Jewish Literacy has sold 200,000 copies. I found this hard to believe - I expected a much higher figure - especially since Maureen Dowd's Are Men Necessary has already sold over 240,000 and Alan Alda's Never Have Your Dog Stuffed is said to have sold over 180,000, I know Jewish books have a smaller audience, but Jewish Literacy has become a classic; can it really have sold fewer books over the years that Alan Alda's dog book?
