New York Times Adult Hardcover Best Seller Number Ones Listing Fiction by Date by Kbear - Page 5

The books on this list have all made #1 at least once on the New York Times Bestsellers List for Adult Hardcover 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 #75, 1950 at #134, 1960 at #166, 1970 at #197,
1980 at #242, 1990 at #320, 2000 at #420, 2010 at #638, 2020 at #945. I did not do any research into what the covers looked like at the time of winning. Hope you have fun with this one.
