I'll post a picture of the item I found, you guys guess what book it was found in.
Here's the pic:
April 16 1940
Received from J.C. Conway
20.00 Dollars
Mrs. Nils Sturbug (just a guess on that)
Edit: Here's the book:
"Sapphira and the Slave Girl" by Willa Cather. Published by Knopf, 1940.
Somehow I don't think the receipt was for the book.

Although I can't see the specific year, I'm guessing "War and Peace".
MR C - I updated the post with information.
Gone With the Wind!
The Grapes of Wrath?
Sherlock Holmes.
Rebecca - du Maurier
Pale Moon Rising
I'll guess A Tale of Two Cities.
Tom Sawyer?
The Bible (most frequently sold book, right? or one of them? not that the $20 is probably for a book in 1940, but anyway.)
Pride and Prejudice
"For Whom the Bell Tolls"?
How Green Was My Valley?
