"The Top Ten Best Sellers According to the Sunday New York Times as of January 7, 1973." Again, lots of things already largely forgotten, especially on the accompanying non-fiction list
All second-rate books (or worse), but as for "largely forgotten" I remember almost all of them, not from having read them all, but as things that existed at the time and books I have often seen over the decades as used books. I could probably provide a thumbnail description for 17 of those 20.

Yeah, but these are far from 1st eds, and not bound periodicals, and from pretty huge print runs even from the time
