It costs you nothing

Yet, in the past year IF YOU WERE A MEMBER AND HAD BOUGHT THESE SELECTIONS

YOU WOULD HAVE RECEIVED Six of these books Free Pictured here are the most recent books that were Club Selections and Book-Dividends. Members do not have to take the selection every month; they may buy as few as four a year. But whenever they do buy the Club's selections they receive one book-dividend FREE for every two selections they buy. OVER 425,000 families—thus at the very least, over a million discriminating book-readers—now belong to the Book-of-the-Month Club. They do so, in order to keep themselves from missing the important new books they are really interested in. Time and again you buy the 'book-of-the-month'—not knowing it has previously been chosen by our judges—merely because some discerning friend has said warmly: 'There's a book you must not miss.' How sensible to get these books from the Club, since you pay no more for the books you buy, and save enormously in other ways.
