Jeffrey Herman claimed that the Radio Amateur's Handbook was named as an
all-time best seller by Time Magazine in the non-fiction category:

According to the article in Time (from 1968, not 1970), it was #16:

So it was a best seller!

Jeff noted that it was the best selling technical book on the list. I
suppose that depends on whether one considers cookbooks and Dr. Spock's
baby and child care books to be 'technical'.

The ARRL Radio Amateur's Handbook is certainly the best-selling book on
radio on that list.
