The play Romeo and Juliet has never been copyrighted so anyone can print out a copy and sell it without permission from anyone. This means that innumerable copies have been produced over the last 400 years, and there is no record of how many. Someone has guessed around the 200,000,000,000 mark. Could be.
The script of Romeo and Juliet was first published in 1597. It has never been protected by copyright, so anybody can print up and sell a copy. It is quite impossible to guess how many copies have been printed or sold in the last 400 years.
Nary a one. Why? Because Shakespeare wrote things (rarely things which he intended to have published) and acted in plays but did not sell any books.
He turned over the rights to his long poems Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece to a publisher but was involved in the printing process enough to write a dedication to his patron.
His plays were given to his theatrical company. The company, not Shakespeare, published them. There were also pirated copies.
There were pirated copies of the sonnets as well. Shakespeare may have given permission for the complete set to be published in 1609 but if so it is not clear from the dedicatory preface, which was written by the publisher.
So although over the centuries innumerable copies of Shakespeare's works in various combinations have been sold, Shakespeare did not sell any of them. The only ones he did get a benefit from were the two long poems
i mean there has to have been atleast 15 copies sold
Exact sales numbers for the Harry Potter books are unknown. It is known that by 2008 over 450 million copies had sold.
Harry Potter didn't sell books, but there are seven books about him.
