In the UK, the best seller for many years - way ahead of the Bible -
has always been the Highway Code. (I'd guess that Chairman Mao's
Little Red Book would be a long way ahead of Mein Kampf, too).

I suspect that, in the US, Fannie Farmer outsold Hitler by quite
a long way. Anybody got the figures?
