Sumario:Studies on the history of the book in Brazil during the military dictatorship focus almost entirely on works that were banned from circulating between 1964 and 1985. This article reverses the focus and maps the best-selling books between December 1968 and December 1978 - a decade in which Institutional Act No. 5 was in force, which introduced, among other dictatorial measures, censorship prior to books - to answer the question: what did Brazilians read under AI-5? The source will be the bestseller lists of Veja magazine, a news weekly launched in September 1968, whose graphic evolution and relevance in the journal are also recorded here. As a theoretical contribution, I will turn to the reflections of Robert Darnton and Pierre Bourdieu on the editorial field.
