Product Description
This omnibus edition of the hugely popular Myst trilogy is published to coincide with the release of Myst Revelations, the latest in the line of the bestselling Myst interactive CD-ROM games. The award-winning Myst series is one of the most successful interactive CD-ROM computer games in history with sales of more than 12 million copies worldwide. Myst captivated the world when it was first conceived and created by brothers Rand and Robyn Miller. Its extraordinary success has gone on to spawn Riven, Myst III Exile, and most recently, Uru: The Ages Beyond Myst. Devoted fans of these surreal adventure games gather yearly at "Mysterium" (whose event sites are spreading to other countries) to exchange game strategies, share stories, and meet up with old friends. The Myst Reader is a literary companion to the CD-ROM games and a compendium of the bestselling official Myst trilogy: The Book of Atrus, The Book of Ti'ana, and The Book of D'ni. Devoted fans and new players alike will be delighted to have three books in this mythic saga together for the first time in one value-priced volume, which will be published in time to coincide with the long-awaited release of Myst Revelations.

 myst reader paper back December 2, 2008
I am a myst gamer and reader, I got into the myst games on the 3D0 gaming system and have played since, I was an avid book reader before the books came out, and when I found out about them was exited, I have the book of tianna on hard bound and decided to expand what I had in my library, I found it too be a cheap and effective way to get all the books, though I dislike the order of them, i'm not a big fan of paper backs and wish this one was hard bound, I would have payed upword of 60.00 dollers for it in this way, even used. These books are the highlight of my collection, as the games are.
To anyone as a puzzler or reader I recommed it in both ways, even with some dissapointments you may have.
 Great book! September 11, 2008
This book is based on the popular Myst video games.
Ryan Miller along with a co author delve into the story of Atrus and his D'ni history. It's a must read for those who like to get into the whole Myst enviroment.
It is a must read for the on line game that is getting ready to be released! MORE Very exciting.
Good sci-fi August 18, 2008
A fascinating book that is an interesting read, even if you're not a fan or player of the Myst game series. It provides a more spiritual backbone and reads somewhat like the illustrations you see in the Myst series: like a series of illustrative paintings that are of more simplified detail than the real world, but contain important moral lessons, and stunning visuals. The inclusion of three books gives one the feeling of immense amounts of time passing, though the narrative (if I remember right) only spans about one and a half lifetimes...
A must have for Myst lovers. July 8, 2008
For anyone, from young to adult, who is into Myst, this book, has to be in your book case. I wish it were in hard cover, and I do hope the Myst group, continues with this facinating story. My only regret is, I had to buy a new computer, and It is a Vista based unit, and all Myst programs play on Vista, except Game V, End of Ages. I mention this, here in the book review, because, I just want to give a heads up to those with Vista, who are thinking of getting the game. PLEASE, Myst Folks, Don't let us Vista users down. We have been faithful to you, so Let us enjoy, Game V, too. Buy the book folks. You will not be disapointed. I could not put it down, except for some sleep, till I finished it, and it has only whet my appetite for more, and kudos to Amazon, for their great internet buying service. They have never disapointed me so far, and I have been doing business with them for a few years now. Thank You.
Entertaining and Deep June 21, 2008
Nothing like a compilation for tons of good reading. The classic series comes together so even the Myst newcomer can get an in-depth view of the Myst universe in one fell swoop. All three books are compelling. I am not an avid "alternate universe" fan, and I loved these books.
ANY book-lover will be enchanted by the great "what if" contained in the Myst Saga. Highly recommended.
