Reader's Digest Select Editions Explained
The Reader's Digest Select Editions[1] are a series of hardcover fiction anthology books, published bi-monthly and available by subscription, from Reader's Digest. Each volume consists of four or five current bestselling novels selected by Digest editors and abridged (or "condensed") to shorter form to accommodate the anthology format.
This series is a renamed continuation of the long-running anthology series Reader's Digest Condensed Books. The two series overlapped in 1997 before fully switching to the Select Editions name. Frequently published authors in the Select series include Lee Child (19 titles), Nicholas Sparks (17 titles), Michael Connelly (13 titles), Mary Higgins Clark (12 titles) and Dick Francis (10 titles).
