They're of slightly unusual dimensions, aren't they? Either way, it wouldn't surprise me if Reader's Digest had produced a bookcase designed for them at some point.
Here they can become a bit of a problem for charity shops, but my favourite local one once managed to sell a large number of them to someone who'd bought a bookcase and needed something to put in it. If they were hoping to look erudite, they really should've plunged into the discard box for some beautiful, cheap cloth-bound volumes, but hey: all the more for me...
I've come to appreciate that Reader's Digest books had some fine illustrations but you'd need a lot of space to house them just for their illustrations. I'd be tempted because I've become very interested in illustrations of that period.
One has to wonder why someone with no books would buy a bookcase at all.
