Wikipedia view of the significance of McGuffey: It is estimated that at least 120 million copies of McGuffey's Readers were sold between 1836 and 1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible>and Webster's Dictionary <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webster%27s_Dictionary>. Since 1961 they have continued to sell at a rate of some 30,000 copies a year. No other textbook bearing a single person's name has come close to that mark.

How about doing the top 10 books aka. books that people really want to read?
