I think hellohowareyou is right - it's Mao's "Little Red Book" as they call it. Every Chinese citizen during Mao's day had to have a copy, so naturally there's a billion copies sold right there. The Bible still far outsold it with at least six billion copies since the invention of the printing press alone.

The folks at Guinness claim that their Book of World Records is the worlds best selling book (excluding non-copyright books such as the Bible and the Koran) with over 100 million copies sold.
Mao's Little Red Book is said to have sold around 900 million copies (though it was also given away)
