Best Sellers of 1783
My husband was reading a list of the best-selling books of 1783 the other day. Being the blonde that I am, I was like “oh…this is interesting. I didn’t realize they kept records like that back then.” So….even though some of the names of the books were a little….ummmm….. different, I said, “Send that to me. It’s something I can share on Booking It!”
Okay… so I’m a blonde, right? And gullible. He sends me this link. Yes, it’s from The Onion. Now, if you aren’t familiar with this publication, they touted themselves as being “America’s Finest News Source.” And… I have to admit… The Onion is indeed entertaining to read.
Bob’s favorite book on the “best sellers of 1783″ is The Lever and Fulcrum for Village Idiots…must have been the ancestor of the famous “Dummies” book. My personal favorite is The Diary of a Woman Who Knew How to Write. What’s yours? Curious minds want to know.

First off, I loved that there were only 17 — and that four were the Bible, lol.
