When I was younger I heard the world's best selling book was the Bible which really is a bunch of different books binded together and written by a bunch of different authors. But all having the same theme.http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record_subcategory.asp?subcategoryid=46

I'd have to say the Bible... hmmm - but actually a collection of books - but they sell in every language in the world.
