All of the stories are well written and when I replay the games this extra knowledge makes the experience much richer. 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. These three books, all bound together in one volume (Book 1: The Book of Atrus Book 2: The Book of Ti'ana Book 3: The Book of D'ni) have helped to fill in the gaps in my knowledge. 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. Its extraordinary success has gone on to spawn Riven, Myst III Exile, and most recently, Uru: The Ages Beyond Myst. Myst captivated the world when it was first conceived and created by brothers Rand and Robyn Miller. 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. 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.
