The Great Ideas Today 1962, bibliographies
Britannica’s The Great Ideas Today was a series of annual supplements to their Great Books of the Western World collection. You can sometimes find these in used bookshops, and they are worth browsing. As a pet project, I have been transcribing bibliographies contained in the subject overview articles. They have plenty of interesting data, giving a sense of which books, authors, and ideas were making an impact on intellectual discourse in America at the time.
