JK Rowling's latest "The Tales Of Beedle The Bard" has surpassed all other records making its way to the fastest selling book of 2008. It has made a huge sale making about five times more than its closest rival 'Guinness World Records 2008'.

The latest book that hit the stores on December 4th in the wizard boy series sold 367,625 copies just on the first three days of its publication. 'The Guinness Book Of Records' sold about 73,000 copies over the same period of time as per the market analyst Nielsen BookScan.

"None of the other big releases managed to get near the sales figure for Beedle the Bard. I would be very surprised if it is not Christmas number one, but it's not a dead cert," The Telegraph quoted Philip Stone, charts editor at The Bookseller magazine, as saying.

The enormous and extraordinary sales outcome of the latest creation of the Harry Potter author has indeed indicated that she still spells the spell over the readers according to Nielsen BookScan.
