AB Bookman's List of the 100 Best Novels in English After 1923

An interesting blend of frequently seen and rarely seen works, most of American origin. Be aware there are a couple of politically incorrect titles, one of which, "Ten Little Niggers", is usually known these days as "And Then There Were None".
"AB Bookman's Weekly" was a weekly trade publication begun in 1948 as a spin off from "Publishers Weekly". It ceased publication at the end of 1999.
