Several ISFDB publisher names contain "Readers Union" (<a href="http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/se.cgi?arg=Readers+Union&type=Publisher" search report</a>).
Known publication dates span 1952 to 1982 as of March 2022.

Wikipedia "David & Charles" (above) notes that that UK publisher in 1971 "bought Readers’ Union, a group of book clubs catering to enthusiasts of needlecraft, handicrafts, gardening, equestrian pursuits and photography." Aggregate club membership peaked in 1992 and the clubs "replaced with the ecommerce business RUCraft" in 2008.</Note>
