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.

  • Die Reader’s Digest Auswahlbücher erscheinen in den USA (unter dem Titel „Reader’s Digest Select Editions“) seit 1950 und in Deutschland seit 1955. Veröffentlicht werden sie im deutschsprachigen Raum vom Verlag Reader’s Digest – Deutschland, Schweiz, Österreich –, Verlag Das Beste GmbH, Stuttgart, Zürich, Wien. Anfangs gab es pro Jahr vier, später fünf, dann sechs und seit 2012 sieben Ausgaben. Jeder Band enthält mehrere – üblicherweise vier – Romane, die aus unterschiedlichen Genres (Krimis, Thriller, Liebesromane, historische Romane, heitere Romane etc.) stammen. Die Romane wurden vorab durch den Verlag um 20 bis 50 % gekürzt. Dadurch sowie durch die Mischung der Genres soll eine breite Leserschaft angesprochen werden. (de)
