リーダーズ・ダイジェスト
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".
