Are there even that many kosher jewish households in the english speaking world? And i doubt that chassidim would buy this, as they are into home cooking, and recipes they got from their grandmother. It could be an exaggerated and inflated number by Artscroll and/or its marketers to get people to buy it, since it is 'so popular'. Is the source given, some local paper, a good source? What do the publishers say? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkkelf99 (talk • contribs) 19:50, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It could be that the source for this figure in the various newspaper reports is the publisher, ArtScroll, but it is entirely possible that the seven books to date have sold that many copies, since, as the article states, they reach beyond the strictly kosher households to a broader market. Several reliable sources in 2008 reported "over a quarter-million books sold", and with 2 more books issued since then, the figure of 400,000 is quite reasonable. However, I will continue checking for a source other than the publisher. Yoninah (talk) 20:39, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
