I've been a Reader's Digest reader from my elementary to college. In fact, its Word Power has helped me top the college entrance scholarship exam.

@everwonderwhy Thanks :) We owe it to our high school English class teacher who always made it a point to give us exams on RD's Word Power monthly.

Back in my elementary years! That's where I have read the joke,
Son: Iphone
Mother: Ipad
Sister: Ipod
Father: I pay
I found it hilarious to the point that I could not forget it!

Yes, i have a collection of them . I subscribed for about 4 years . I re-read them and do those word meanings quiz again , when i became a housewife for about two years .
Now we can read them online , some articles only though . It's a very informative little booklet .

Oh, I didn't think about online Reader's Digest. I wonder if they are open for freelancers to write or research for them? I'd like to see their website. :-)

Me, too. The stories there remain a valuable asset to the publication for decades! Good stuff!

Oh yes I absolutely used to love them and subscribed for them as well. I still have a pile of them back in my home and there are times when I would just sit down with a mug of coffee and go through them all over again...it gets kind of nostalgic.

We lost all of them with moving houses. We can still get them from OPShops or thrift stores, garrage sales and secondhand book shops. I'd like to replenish my memory of the Reader's Digest booklets. The short stories there were life's treasures. Also, I loved the feature on vocabulary words.

Readers Digest used to be my favorite book. I had subscribed and had whole lot of books. Most of them I have given off to a local library. Those were the days with much of gadget intervention, would take a book and get engrossed for hours together.

Our high-tech-gadget-engrossed teens would not touch them. Unless I bribe them with cash to get them to read a page. LOL!

What did you read for research and fact-based studies? College days were good memories. But as I grow older, research and much reading for my learning is a pastime I cannot give up yet. Even I'm a grandma already.

There are many good materials still published on RD. My subscriptions expired 6 months ago.

I doubt there is any value to old Reader's Digests. Most vintage magazines have no value unless there is someone like Marilyn Monroe on the cover or 1920s movie magazines.

There are a lot of them sold for $2.00 a box from our local OpShop (thrift store). There are a few from a secondhand/antique shop. It'd be interesting if I do buy-and-sell on those collector's RD First Editions. I wonder. ??

Classic First Edition ones sell good money. There are collector's-items buyers out there and sell good money for our antiques.
