take as few as four books-of-the-month
in any twelve-month period. The
Club's judges are sure to choose at
least four books each year you will be
anxious not to miss reading.
Since the books you take from the
Club
are only those you would buy
anyway,
the saving is extraordinary.
The amount you pay for the book-of–
the-month is the regular retail price–
frequently less. (A small charge
is
added to cover postage and other mail–
ing expenses.)
Yet with every second
book-of-the-month you take, you
118-
ceive-free--one of the Club's book–
dividends.
These are beautiful library
volumes, sometimes two-or-three vol–
ume sets, sometimes highly popular
best-sellers. Last year, the retail value
of the free books Club members re-
I
ceived was in excess of $10,500,000-
these were given, not sold!
This is how the system works: •you
receive a careful
pre-publication report
about each book-of-the-month, and at
the same time reports about all other
important new books. Whenever you
decide you want the book-of-the–
month, you let it come.
If
not, you may
either specify any other book you want,
or simply write, "Send me nothing
next month."
Thus, you keep yourself well-in–
formed
about all the new books,
you
get only those you want, you often pay
less for them, and-on top of that–
on the average you get at least 50%
more books for the money you spend
than you otherwise would.
(Prices are
slightly higher in Canada.)
