The number of books circu-

War still enjoy a tremendous

War personalities were especially
popular.

cinated readers, too. Most no
table was the interest in the
Dead Sea Scrolls. led by books
by Edmund Wilson and Millar
Burrows.
Books about travel, explora-

most interesting to readers last

Mozart, Toscanini, Benjamin
Henry Latrobe and Hitler.
