Bookman list of bestselling novels in the United States in the 1890s

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of bestselling novels in the United States from 1895 through 1899, as determined by The Bookman, a New York–based literary journal.[1] Without the international copyright law which came into force in 1891, these volumes could have been printed and published by anyone, the change in this state of affairs made it possible to compile accurate sales figures.[2]

Notable attempts to compile a list of best-selling books in the United States prior to 1895 include The Popular Book: A History of America's Literary Taste (1950) by James D. Hart.
