To save time for anyone searching, I messaged the seller to get more specific photos and confirmed that this specific copy of Ferment in the Far East sold by oldsaratogabooks on Amazon is an exact match to the Linking Book Atrus uses at the end of Riven, in almost perfect condition, and is only $18. I've sent messages to a bunch of other sellers of the various books as well; we'll see how many get back to me! https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0007E4G0O/ref=tmm_hrd_collectible_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=collectible&qid=1570103455&sr=8-1

Also, where is Masterpiece Edition, and Real Myst?
Joking aside, that's a really nice collection!
The Myst series, in chronological setting order (not release order), are:
The three Myst novels are also collected into a single volume called the Myst Reader, although they're still available individually.
Myst, Riven, Myst V, and Uru are all available online in various forms, such as via GOG or Steam. Myst III and Myst IV are currently only available as a hardcopy purchase and may not work on modern systems.
What do you define as out the nose and what exactly are you looking for? I've found buying used games on Amazon to be one of the best ways to get an old game over most other options. I suppose if you're looking for a completely new, mint-condition copy then ya you'll be paying a bit. I currently count 6 used copies selling for under $10 on Amazon. I see at least one of those 6 claiming to come with the case in at least some condition, and the next most cheapest at around $12 claims to have the full case and booklet.

You know, I've never seen my money do that. It lept up out of my pocket and into your's. I'd love to have a Riven remake. I think I still have it but I have an oversized "making of" Riven book that may be of interest. http://www.amazon.com/From-Myst-Riven-Creations-Inspirations/dp/078686365X Not selling mine here, just showing what it is.
There's also a "making of" book that goes into more detail. Here's the link for those interested: https://www.amazon.com/Myst-Riven-Creations-Inspirations/dp/078686365X
There are a couple of dictionaries around. The problem is that you still need a vocabulary. It's not a simple substitution from English. Even when you have all the words in a sentence, you can't just substitute the D'ni words. You have to apply the grammar rules as well, or the sentence doesn't make any sense. The only time we get new words is when a new game comes out or when Rawa speaks.
Richard A. Watson is the real life "continuity" guy for Cyan industries, and basically the official keeper of the lore and translator for D'ni. His persona within the Myst universe is known as Rawa. When he (the Cyan employee) speaks as his game persona (RAWA), he is taken as an official sorce on lore and language.
Here's a PDF containing all his explanations, posts and corrections from the Myst, Riven, and Uru message boards dealing with the D'ni language and culture.

And here's a collected dictionary, 80% of which is from him and the other 20% is from the games and/or the books written by David Wingrove. This site is more or less the definitive guide since the "D'ni Desk Reference" website disappeared about 5 years ago.

And here's an English to D'ni vocabulary.

David Wingrove was the "Ghost Writer" for the novels. He took a couple of liberties with lore and how stuff works to be able to fit everything into a coherent narrative, but is more or less correct, and there is quite a bit of D'ni and translations contained within the pages of the 3 books he helped write.
