From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
4 out of 10 best-selling American books in the 1900s were written by
Winston Churchill (1871 – 1947)
This is a list of
bestselling novels in the
United States in the 1900s , as determined by
The Bookman , a New York–based literary journal.
[1] The list features the most popular novels of each year from
1900 through
1909 .
The standards set for inclusion in the lists – which, for example, led to the exclusion of the
novels in the
Harry Potter series from the lists for the
1990s and
2000s – are currently unknown.
