In the basement of a house located at the corner of Macdougal Street and Minetta Lane, in the heart of Greenwich Village New York (now converted into a restaurant), began the history of Reader’s Digest. It was there that in 1922 the marriage Wallace, De Witt and Lila, began the story of her ‘American dream’, sending 5,000 letters to friends, acquaintances and others requesting $ 3 for an annual subscription to a magazine novel: pocket format, with 30 items (one for each day of the month) of interest, selected from other magazines, but “condensed”, ie, abbreviated without losing the sense of them.
