Question ID: 597199
What books made the bestseller list in 1967?  New York Times Top 100
for the year would be ideal. (This seems like it should be easy to
find but I'm not having any luck.) Thanks and thanks!

I checked the NY Times archive, and I don't believe that they compiled
a Top 100 list for the year.  I can give you the Top 10 fiction and
Top 10 non-fiction.  Would that be acceptable?

10 + 10 would be great!  Thanks!
