What Is Involved

You are not obliged, as member of
the Club, to take the book-of-the-month
its Judges choose. Nor (this is frequent
misapprehension arising from our name)
are you obliged to buy one book every
month from the Club. Here is the simple
system:
Publishers submit all their important
books to US. These go through the most
careful reading routine now in existence
1t is not unusual for single book to be
read by nine different preliminary read
ers before it is even recommended to
Club members. At the end of this sitting
process, our five judges choose one book
as the book-of-the-m
But this choice is not in the least
binding upon you as member. You re-
ceive a carefully written report about
the book in adrames of its publication.
Hyou decide from this report that it is
book you really want, you let it come
to you. If not, you merely sign and
mail slip, saving, Don't want it.
Evening star., 1939-01-29
Why miss in 1939-as you did in 1888

Git is nothing more, when analyzed) to
keepyou from reading new books which
you want very much to read How often
have you promised yourself to do some
thing about this!
There is something simple you can do,
, and as efectual as it is simple Over
100000 families-persons like yourself
have found it efectual Become sub
scriber of the Book-of-rhe-M Month Club
This has become the most thorough
going service ever devised to help per-
spicacious book-readers save money on
new books, and keep them from missing
those they are most interested in.

The explanation is that the Club does
NOT buy books from the publisher, it
buys tbe ,igbf TO print the book-of-the
month its Judges choose. So many of its
members ordinarily want the book-of-
the-month that an enormous edition
can be printed, The saving on this
quantity-production is large enough to
enable the Club to buy the right to
print otbv fine library volumes. These
are then manufactured and distributed
free among the Clubs members-o for
every tmo book5-ot-tbe-monfb ,o1 b1,. The
resulting economy is extraordinary For
every ST. you spend for a book-of-the-
month you actually receive about 75c
back in the form of free books, figured
at retail value
Some of the actual book-dividends
distributed within recent months is the
best indication of what can be done by
this system: they included BARrLErr's
