How many L Ron Hubbard nonfiction books have been sold since Dianetics first came out in the early fifties?

Unfortunately that is impossible to say. More books by him have been sold than have been printed. If you think that is impossible, well, realize that the Scientology front organization "Author Services Inc." has Scientologists buy books from New York Time's bookstore list and then RESELLS them back to the book store. This is to make the Hubbard books show up on the "best sellers" list.

See the San Diego Union, April 15, 1990, front page article.
