24 Bestsellers Published in the 1980s

"Grab your leg warmers, do the moonwalk, and dig into one of these totally tubular reads!" There are only 23 books on this list as there was one missing from the Random House's List. (For those of you who had already taken this challenge I'm sorry that I unpublished this a while ago, I thought I could retrieve the lost book but the bug on the page was still there..).
