英语词汇best-seller的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	best-seller
词源	best-seller. Best-seller, for a book that sells many copies, is an Americanism first recorded in 1905. The Sears Roebuck Cata log was probably the “best-seller” of all time, though it was dis- tributed free for more than three-quarters of a century. Over 5 billion copies may be a conservative estimate for its total distri- bution since 1896. In second place is the Bible.
