Reader's Digest Condensed Books

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reader's Digest Condensed Books were a series of anthology books, available by subscription and originally published quarterly (the frequency of publication went through several changes over the years), by Reader's Digest. Each volume consisted of three to five current bestselling books — typically novels — selected by Digest editors, and carefully edited (or "condensed") for length and content.

The series ran for over 47 years, before being reintroduced under the name Reader's Digest Select Editions. The concept became sufficiently familiar to the American public that the phrase "just give me the Reader's Digest Condensed version" entered the lexicon as a way to ask someone to use less detail and be more focused when telling an anecdote or explaining a point.[citation needed]

[edit] Trivia

  • According to Richard Devine, former Editor-in-chief of Reader's Digest Australia, when he interviewed with DeWitt Wallace for the position of one of four issue editors for the US edition, part of the discussion turned to whether the Condensed Books should ever include the word "fuck" (one of the novels under consideration was the bestseller Love Story, which used the word liberally). Devine's response was that "any story you couldn't cut 'fuck' out of wasn't much of a story."[1] Devine got the job.
