Standing on the shoulders of giants\u2014libraries and cataloging organizations\u2014and based on our computational resources and experience of organizing millions of books through our Books Library Project and Books Partner Program since 2004, we\u2019ve determined that number.<\/p>\n<p>As of today, we estimate that <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>there are 129,864,880 different books in the world<\/strong><\/span>.
