Advantages: Free Book

Disadvantages: Tie in to expensive books with not much choice

BFC or Books For Children is a book club, that offer's a free book or free collection in return for purchasing 6 books in the year. This is a hark back to the seventies. There are plenty of other companies out there who give a free book and have no tie in's. I went with BFC (Books For Children) because of the initial offer, thinking book clubs no longer existed, or even needed to. The next two months of choice offers were extraordinarily expensive! So I hung on for the third month and received, (without ordering) a Winnie The Pooh book at £12.95 plus P&P. A courier can pick it back up but at a cost of £3! I have called customer service (based guess where? - India) and they said they would not charge, but they have added it to my account! Beware Book Clubs and Hobsons Choice are back. I have since found a book provider and can recommend this company - Red House.

Summary: An agressive company with agressive marketing
