A World's Best Seller Riddle
I am old but also new
I may seem rather strange but all of me is true
I am 66 inside but really only 1
I can be pocket sized or sometimes weigh a ton!
All of me is about a person you really ought to meet
He often signs his name and each story is his treat
I am a world best-seller but sadly seldom read
Perhaps you've seen me on a shelf or lying by a bed?
What am I?

Hint:
Gift To One, Poison To Others
I was a gift to the one but poison to the others
I was a favored sign but also a hated symbol
Some say that of many I was not short
While others talk of two that were far too long
I was stolen and then torn
And became something to mourn
I am in the Bible - what am I?

Mr. Fiend recounted his dismal discovery to the police:
I was walking by Mr. Teddys house when I thought I would just pop in for a visit. I noticed his study light was on and I decided to peek in from the outside to see if he was in there.
