New York Times Adult Hardcover Best Seller Number Ones Listing Non Fiction by Date by Kbear - Page 4

The books on this list have all made #1 at least once on the New York Times Bestsellers List for Adult Hardcover Non-Fiction.
They are listed in order of appearance at #1 - 1931 to November of 2023. I intend to wade through them. I do skip around.
To help you do the same the decades begin as follows: 1940 begins with #89, 1950 at #142, 1960 at #181, 1970 at #223,
1980 at #275, 1990 at #331, 2000 at #425, 2010 at #564, 2020 at #718.
I did not do any research into what the covers looked like at the time of winning. Have fun with this one!
