Joining a Book Club
Here, you can order books of any genre, from biographies to science fiction to children's to romance to mystery to fantasy to self-help.
You can even get bestsellers for less than what you'd pay in a shop.
Any bookworm could benefit from the savings and selection that is afforded by club memberships.
Here's how a club works: members are sent a book or even a set every month.
You can either choose them yourself or the clubs themselves choose them for you.
If the clubs will choose, you have the option to return any of the titles that you don't want.
Eventually, only those that you want become added to your library.
Depending on your individual interests, you could join specialized clubs or general interest clubs.
General interest clubs stock traditional classics and contemporary best sellers.
Specialized clubs include Specialty Fiction clubs (Romance, Mystery, Sci-Fi/Fantasy), Special Interest (Home, Cooking, & Crafts; Christian & Conservative; History & Military; Lifestyle; Ethnic; etc.
), and audio clubs (iPod, Mp3, etc.
).
Every club will offer big savings and monthly shipments that are very convenient.
You can only commit to buy one book every six months so if you already buy this often then a club is the way to save money.
Even if you yourself are not a voracious reader, you can use your membership to get books for loved ones during special occasions.
Most of these clubs have agreements with publishers that allow them to sell their products for much less than the actual retail price.
Other clubs will charge a fixed price regardless of which titles you choose.
Most of them are brand new and in mint condition, hard bound, too.
Great introductory deals are also being offered by these clubs.
They will send you a number of free or greatly discounted books just for agreeing to buy a certain number of books over the next few years.
Aside from the savings and the free books, book clubs regularly offer free gifts such as tote bags, fleece jackets, toys, DVDs, compasses, among others.
So you see, joining a book club is not only cost effective; it is also fun.
When you join a club, you even gain new friends while interacting with other members by joining their forums where readers exchange ideas about what they have read.
