We started at 1918, bringing you the bestselling books of the last one hundred years. We’re moving along now, covering each year at a time and today we move into a brand new decade as we mark the bestselling books of 1930.
Already we can see some hot authors and trends appearing now and as the years tick on it’s likely that you’ll start recognising some contemporary authors and others who have been publishing through the decades.
But today, we have the ten top selling books of 1930 and the heady days before World War II. We’re also featuring some well known books that didn’t make the cut!
However, the 1930 releases that stood the test of time were not in the top ten and include, William Faulkner’s classic, As I Lay Dying, and Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon, once again proving that the bestselling books aren’t always the ones that have longevity.
We’ll continue this series right through to 2018, keep an eye out for 1931, coming soon!
