I found this interesting. The best selling non-religious/non-political single-volume book of all time is the Chinese dictionary. After that....
A Tale of Two Cities. 200,000,000 copies sold since first published in 1859. Wow.
Following that, the Scouting Handbook, Lord of the Rings, And Then There Were None (Agatha Christie mystery), The Hobbit, and Dream of the Red Chamber (an 18th century Chinese novel).
The best selling multi-volume series of all time will surprise none of you: Harry Potter, with over 400,000,000 served.
