Publishers Weekly list of bestselling novels in the United States in the 1910s

This is a list of bestselling novels in the United States in the 1910s, as determined by The Bookman, a New York–based literary journal (1910–1912) and Publishers Weekly (1913 and beyond).^[1] The list features the most popular novels of each year from 1910 through 1919.

The standards set for inclusion in the lists – which, for example, led to the exclusion of the novels in the Harry Potter series from the lists for the 1990s and 2000s – are currently unknown.
