Fantasy & SF Bookclub Reviews

I was happy while I was a member and brought my membership quota. However, one magazine failed to turn up and I was sent the editors choices two months later.

They are pretty ...  Read the complete review

The joining offer allows you to buy 6 books (or sets of books) from a list for hugely reduced prices. I picked up a hard back illustrated copy of the Lord of the Rings (rrp £40-£50) for about £4.50. The membership conditions are that you buy at least one book from the first four quarterly magazines and after that you have no obligation. The ...  Read the complete review
