20. Science Fiction Book Club
About once a year someone asks about the SFBC and the resulting
discussion inevitably goes like this:
A: I love it. I get hard cover books for about half the bookstore
price. Plus they have these omnibus editions of various series so
you can pick up several books in one volume. The binding may not be
up to regular hardcover standards, but it's still better than
paperback.
B: Yeah, but I keep losing the monthly cards and end up buying or having
to send back books that I don't want.
C: You should do like I did. I called them up and got on the
"Preferred Member Plan". On this plan I only get books when I send
back the card.
D: But the selections for joining are no good.
E. The best thing to do, for anybody who wants to join, is to find
someone who is already a member, and fill out the "sign up a friend"
form that members get. Then you get to pick your books from the
current club flier, which has a much better selection and includes
descriptions. And your friend gets a free book (or is it two?).
