So if something circulated a lot in the system before Millennium (DRA) but not as much in Millennium, it would have been excluded from this list. (For some reason, the DRA circs field is displayable but not searchable.)

Further delving does reveal a new top book, when DRA circs are taken fully into account. The overall top item still remains undisputed champion.

Top 10 books:

10. HISTORY OF URBAN FORM : BEFORE THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONS 174 circs
9. HISTORY OF URBAN FORM : BEFORE THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONS 178 circs
8. A HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE : SETTINGS AND RITUALS 180 circs
7. SINGLE VARIABLE CALCULUS 218 circs
6. THOMAS COLE, LANDSCAPE INTO HISTORY 229 circs
5. ROLFING : THE INTEGRATION OF HUMAN STRUCTURES 281 circs
4. THOMAS COLE, LANDSCAPE INTO HISTORY 292 circs
3. THE BODY MOVEABLE : BLUEPRINTS OF THE HUMAN MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM : ITS STRUCTURE, MECHANICS, LOCOMOTOR AND POSTURAL FUNCTIONS 313 circs
2. A HISTORY OF FAR EASTERN ART 337 circs
1. IMAGES OF AMERICAN LIVING; FOUR CENTURIES OF ARCHITECTURE AND FURNITURE AS CULTURAL EXPRESSION 497 circs

What is the time frame? When did we start keeping these records? And what are the top ten books?

I’m guessing a camera – either digital still or video.
