Combined! :)
(There are also a few books on the list that weren't actually first published in 1970 ...)

I didn't check that. Knock them off, however if you have a 'real' year for them could you advise so (if any are my votes) I can adjust my shelves.
Ta!
Keep up the good work
Likewise! :)(Deleted: Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb - originally published as "Red Alert" in 1958, The Winds of War - 1971, Master and Commander - 1969, Fire from Heaven - likewise 1969, Being There - 1971 and The Antagonists - also 1971)
ETA: Also - wasn't Feinstein's The Circle first published in 1973? I'm not entirely sure, however, so will happily cede to better knowledge!
I added all of the novels longlisted for the 'Lost' Man Booker Prize for 1970 last year, and The Circle was one of them, so I think 1973 is just the date of that edition? Master and Commander and Fire from Heaven were also on the list, but seem to have been published earlier in the US.
Publication dates frequently varied back then, yes (not only U.S./UK but also vis-à-vis other countries) -- and both Master and Commander and Fire from Heaven were published in the U.S. a year earlier than in the UK.

I have removed it.
