It was the brainchild of a young American, DeWitt Wallace, who came up with the highly original idea to publish a monthly magazine featuring condensed articles from leading magazines around the world. Despite being turned down by publishers in America, Wallace and his young bride, Lila Bell Acheson, printed 5000 copies of the first issue themselves and sold them by mail order for 25 cents. Their fledgling magazine, in its unique pocket-sized format, took off.
The first international edition was published in England in 1938, and Readers Digest magazine, part of The Readers Digest Association, Inc. (NYSE: RDA), is today the worlds most widely read magazine. There are 50 editions of the magazine, published in 21 languages and reaching 80 million readers worldwide..
