Book Clubs in general

I've little against book clubs in general. I just don't see the point. I'm a habitual (indeed compulsive) book buyer, and have tried several book clubs over the years - they were all, without exception, far more trouble than they were worth. These days - with Amazon, eBay, and a whole host of online book suppliers like Bibliophile and Book Depository (plus Bookfinder.com for rarer items) it's quite amazing how rarely I pay more than £5 or £6 for a book - I just leave it on my Wishlist until the price drops - and sooner or later it usually does. Just today I got a book on aviation history that was listed a year ago at £18 - today's price £4. I ...  Read the complete review

Do you like cooking? Do you want to please your guests with amazing foods? Do you want to be close to all the new books for cooking? If yes, this book club is for you! What it is It is a book club that sells books mainly for cooking. I joined that club on January because I like cooking and I always want to do adventurous things in the kitchen! That club is very helpful to me because it doesn?t mix other books in it so it?s easier for me to decide the book or books that I am going to order. Only books for cooking. They have great variety of books. The same books that are out in the market, here you will get them between £3 to £10. Most of the reductions ...  Read the complete review

Brilliant!!!!!! a book club that actually lets you be a member and have as many books as you like whenever you like and all for the same price of £3 for three books and £2.99 packing and postage. They do take two to three weeks to deliver them to you, but once the wait is over, you will be pleased at the savings you have made. You receive a newsletter and statement every month , where you can order more books or not the choice is all yours, one thing to remember though, is to make sure you cross the editors choice else they will send it to you. I usually go online and cancel it from there, you can also make any payments outstanding on their web site and order books. ...  Read the complete review

I apologise. I apologise for the fact that this review is clearly in the wrong catergory. Sorry - hope no ones offended! PLEASE! Dont move to another opinion. This, for me as a new meber of the DooYoo comunity is something that I deem to be a risk. I dont know if this has been done before...and its either gonna work - or it aint. I looked and as far as I can see there is no opinion catergory for short stories so Im putting this here, just because. Im going to write a short story...please, any feedback will be great. I hope no one minds this, and I HOPE Dooyoo wont block it. The Saviour ...  Read the complete review

Book clubs always manage to entice me with their too good to be true introductory offers. You know the ones – buy 5 books for 1p each add postage and package and what do you have – a bargain or do you? I am an avid reader and love books of all kinds. I also like to give books for gifts at Christmas time and therefore book clubs seemed ideal to me. I am currently a member of World Books, Books for Children and Red House. Now World Books and Books for Children are run by the same company. What happens is that when you sign up for membership you are obliged to buy a given quota of books within the first 12 months. This varies between 4 and 6 so ...  Read the complete review
