There is also Christian Lassen's Anthologia Sanscritica Glossario Instructa in Usum Scholarum, Bonn, Marcus, 1868, which bills itself a second, augmented edition of an anthology by the same title by Joannes Gildemeister.  Lassen's is in archive.org and Hathi Trust, but I am unable to find the first edition by Gildemeister, which does not appear in WorldCat.

Here is the reader I grew up on at the University of Brussels:

Thumb, Albert, Handbuch des Sanskrit, II. Teil: Texte und Glossar von Richard Hauschild, Heidelberg, Carl Winter, 1953.
It fits in the category of general readers.

Best wishes,

Dear all,

The conversations about Sanskrit Readers on-list and the many truly kind and helpful emails I received off-list suggested to me that an inventory of these books might be useful. Please find below all the Readers I am aware of, with pdf download links wherever available, or alternatively lists of the libraries that (according to WorldCat) hold a copy.

If anyone has anything to add to this list (more titles, more links, pdfs, other information), I would greatly appreciate it if you could send it to me, and in a few weeks' time, I will send a more complete version of this inventory to the Indology list.

All the very best,
    Antonia
