In late 2018 we started a brand new blog series, documenting the last one hundred years of bestsellers. We’ve had a blog for every year from 1918 to 2017, each listing the ten bestsellers of that particular year. It’s been an interesting series, and not always because the books have stood the test of time! If you’ve been following the series then we hope you have enjoyed it, and now with every year complete, we’ve collated the list in chronological order making it easy for you to find any particular year you wish.
So here they are, the bestselling books of the last one hundred years!
