Reader's Digest World's Best Reading Collectors discussion

Hi everyone,

This doesn't look like an active group, but just in case anyone is still following it, I wanted to check and see if any of you have the ones I am missing and/or can verify that some of them actually exist. I have 130 out of the 135 that I am aware of (I'm not counting variations or combined volumes). I am missing the following:

--Jo's Boys
--The Good Soldier
--Ivanhoe
--The Jungle
--Paradise Lost (Book safe)

In addition, I have Moonstone, but it is in the Reader's Digest Impress edition, and I am unsure if there is actually a WBR version of it or if it was mistakenly listed as such since it is Reader's Digest.

I have never seen or seen for sale the following:
--The Good Soldier
--Ivanhoe
--Moonstone (actual WBR)

Some of the others I've only seen for $75+ (or more) and I'm not willing to pay that.

Can anyone verify that the ones I haven't seen actually exist? Any tips on finding the ones I'm missing (I've had the most luck with ABE)?

Thanks
Matt

Update 1/6/25:
I've since added Jo's Boys, Ivanhoe, Moonstone, and Paradise Lost (the book safe). I'm only missing The Good Solider and The Jungle, that I am aware of.
