Okay, without reading the answer to this random top 10 list, I’m going to guess: The Saturday Evening Post, Smithsonian, and maybe something like the Ladies’ Home Journal. Now here are the top 10 according to my great book The Top 10 of Everything 2008:

1. Scientific American, 1845
2. Town & Country, 1846
3. Harper’s, 1850
4. The Moravian, 1856
5. The Atlantic Monthly, 1857
6. Armed Forces Journal, 1863
7. The Nation, 1865
8. American Naturalist, 1867
9. Harper’s Bazaar, 1867
10. Animals, 1868

Well, none of my guesses were even in the top 10. And some of these I’ve never even heard of– particularly numbers 4 and 10… The Moravian and Animals? I’m going to have to do some quick research and find out just what the heck these are all about. Meanwhile, I think I’ll go look for some of the science and educational best selling toys of 2008.
