Thread Name: When did the ML Catalog Contain the Most Titles? From: ron at scribblemonger.com (Ron Holl) Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2013 21:23:58 -0400 It is interesting, I think, that the year in which The Modern Library had the most titles in print (according to our data) was the same year they stopped adding new titles; essentially ending the classic ML era (although the classic era books were still printed and sold through 1975). Total number of titles in 1970: 495. In fact, the last several years all had the top number of titles: 1965: 450 1966: 466 1967: 477 1968: 483 1969: 489 1970: 495 Here is a complete list (including P# paperbacks; post 1970 may not be accurate): 1917: 34 1918: 64 1919: 79 1920: 89 1921: 96 1922: 100 1923: 103 1924: 107 1925: 114 1926: 125 1927: 138 1928: 155 1929: 167 1930: 182 1931: 194 1932: 218 1933: 227 1934: 235 1935: 242 1936: 246 1937: 250 1938: 255 1939: 268 1940: 276 1941: 275 1942: 288 1943: 289 1944: 292 1945: 297 1946: 311 1947: 327 1948: 329 1949: 337 1950: 343 1951: 353 1952: 357 1953: 364 1954: 362 1955: 377 1956: 390 1957: 402 1958: 415 1959: 436 1960: 446 1961: 398 1962: 412 1963: 425 1964: 437 1965: 450 1966: 466 1967: 477 1968: 483 1969: 489 1970: 495 1971: 171 1972: 168 1973: 166 1974: 164 1975: 163 ron -------------------------------------
