Reader's Digest Condensed Books

''Reader's Digest Condensed Books'' was a series of hardcover anthology collections, published by the American general interest monthly family magazine ''Reader's Digest'' and distributed by direct mail. Most volumes contained five (although a considerable minority consisted of three, four, or six) current best-selling novels and nonfiction books which were abridged (or "condensed") specifically for ''Reader's Digest''. The series was published from 1950 until 1997, when it was renamed '' Reader's Digest Select Editions''. Frequently featured authors in the original series include Dick Francis (17 titles), Henry Denker (16 titles), Victoria Holt (15 titles) and Mary Higgins Clark (13 titles).

The series was popular; a 1987 ''New York Times'' article estimated annual sales of 10 million copies. Despite this popularity, old copies are notoriously difficult to sell, and scholarly attention has been sparse.

For much of their publication schedule, the volumes were issued four times each year. Each year the company produced a Volume 1 (winter), Volume 2 (spring), Volume 3 (summer), and Volume 4 (autumn). In later years they added a Volumes 5, and then a Volume 6, going to a bi-monthly schedule by the early 1990s. The series was produced for 47 years (1950–1997), until being renamed '' Reader's Digest Select Editions''. (''Note'': UK editions seem to have been somewhat different from US editions. Pre-1992 Canadian editions also contain different titles.)

Occasional books such as '' The Leopard'' (Summer 1960), '' The Days Were Too Short'' (Autumn 1960), and '' Papillon'' (Autumn 1970) were not published in English originally but were abridgments of translations. In some cases, advanced copies of the hardcover edition were printed in paperback form. In a few cases, new editions of older works (''Up from Slavery'', published originally in 1901 (Autumn 1960), '' A Roving Commission: My Early Life'', published originally in 1930 (Autumn 1951) or '' Goodbye Mr. Chips'', published originally in 1934 (Summer 1961)) were also among the condensed selections.
