2007 IKEA catalogue, leaving only color & structure
Field Guide to Style & Color
This piece is a fullsize reproduction of the entire 2007 IKEA catalogue, leaving only color and structure.
With an estimated 175 million copies distributed in 2006, the IKEA catalogue is thought to have surpassed the Bible as the most published print-work in the world.
This is the new release of Jason Salavon

this is amazing!!! and what a determination...
How is this the most published print work with only 175 million copies, when the bible is around 5 to 6 billion copies?
Following numbers on the list:
Quotations from Chairman Mao, about 1 billion copies.
Number three is The Qur'an with an estimated 800 million ...
I know below that we have books like Don Quixote, Star Wars, Webster’s Dictionary, Harry Potter, Guiness Book of World Records (this last one with 233 million copies)...
According to quick searches on google, and with those numbers the IKEA catalog is not even on the top 10 list.
I thought so, sounded a bit dodgy...:)
An LAZYBOY's album TV there was the same soundbite about IKEA and the Bible. That's not to say it is true, after all 83% of statistics are made up on the spot.
its insane, I mean the bible its been around since way before "put together yourself furniture" and its translated on every language known to man, distributed by missionaries even in geographic points of the planet where only tribes habitat, that still hunt for their own food... how can it be possible that a furniture catalog has a larger publishing number than one of the older books in human history.. it makes no sense.
With those numbers it might be on the top 20, maybe top 15 if so...
