    Berrett-Koehler Publishers has an impressive track record of sales of our publications. Already 316 Berrett-Koehler books—approximately one-third of our total booklist—have sold over 20,000 copies, which is our definition of a bestseller. And 76 of these books have sold more than 100,000 copies. These figures include sales of all US and foreign editions in all formats.

    This is a remarkable track record at a time when the average new book published in the US sells less than 2,000 copies over its lifetime. The number one bestselling BK title is Eat That Frog! by Brian Tracy, which has sold over 4 million copies. And Eat That Frog! is published in 57 different languages!

    Listed below are total sales of each bestseller and the number of languages in which each title is published. As you can see, most of these BK titles are published in multiple languages—often in 10 or more languages.
