Best Seller Books from the 1930’s

According to the Publishers Weekly magazine the following books achieved the status of being the number one best seller for each of the years during the 1930’s. These books are easily found in most used book stores.

• Cimarron by Edna Ferber (1930)
• The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck (1931)
• The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck (1932)
• Anthony Adverse by Hervey Allen (1933)
• Anthony Adverse by Hervey Allen (1934)
• Green Light by Lloyd C Douglas (1935)
• Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell (1936)
• Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell (1937)
• The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings ( 1938 )
• The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck (1939)

I find it very interesting that 3 titles from 3 different authors enjoyed being Number 1 for 2 years each during this decade.
