The title is misleading. Patterson is not the living author to have sold the most books. JK Rowling has sold more, and perhaps others (Akira Toriyama, Danielle Steel). [1] I think the claim is that he is currently selling the most per year.
Oddly, I had never heard of Patterson. How is that possible given his apparent cultural dominance?
