Add quotes?

And, how about actually having a representative sample of the quotes? As in hadith, it really helps to get a feel for what these are about

Hong Baoshu

In China at the Cultural Revolution, the book was called "红宝书(Hong Baoshu, the Precious Red Book)". It may be the origin of the western name "The Little Red Book". -- Sunzx 10:41, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I'm removing this sentence

Worldwide its publication is a distant second to the Bible (or third if all publications and printings of the annual Ikea catalog is counted as a book).

because comparing a book and catalogs is absurd. If one added up all of the catalogs that Sears printed over the years, it would probably be first or second on that list, also. —tregoweth 19:16, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

I've actually put this back in, although I arrived from 'Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense', and so I haven't been part of this discussion until now. I've added a couple of sources, including one from the Evening Standard (which compares its distribution to that of the Bible; something which appears in Wikipedia's own article on Ikea).-Ashley Pomeroy 17:44, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I deleted without noticing that you just reentered it. Hower i think it realy a bad joke and it should be deleted. (July 13 2005)

I agree that catalogs and books are apples and oranges. We should keep Ashley's link though, since it gives estimates for the number of Bibles and LRBs in circulation. --Carl 10:04, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
