Your Editor’s Choice
Every month, your Editor will offer you a new title(s) that has been chosen especially for its quality and value. This is the Editor’s Choice. If you’d like to receive the Editor’s Choice, do nothing and it will be sent to you automatically approximately four weeks after the Club Magazine. If you’d like to receive it sooner, just order it and it will be sent to you straight away. If you do not wish to receive the Editor’s Choice, simply let us know each month. You can do this online, by phone or by returning the order form to us.

Your Membership Agreement
In addition to your special introductory offer, you agree to buy at least at least 4 more books in your first year of Membership; this is your Membership Agreement. Fulfilling it is easy - we offer a great range of books to choose from. Once your Membership Agreement is fulfilled, you are not obliged to buy any more books, but you will remain a member of the club and continue to receive the club magazine and be offered the Editor’s Choice. Just remember to let us know each time whether you’d like to receive the Editor’s Choice or not. You can cancel your Membership any time after you have bought the agreed number of books.

Please note: At the time of cancellation, if you have not bought the number of books you agreed to buy, you will be charged a cancellation charge of Ł10 for each book outstanding. You may choose to either pay the cancellation charge, or purchase additional books to fulfil your Membership Agreement. This charge will be waived if you have spent more than Ł50 on your account. All books you purchase will count towards your Membership Agreement, except for special offers where indicated.

The postage and packaging charge for your introductory parcel is Ł2.99. Please allow 7 to 10 working days for delivery.

Membership of this club is limited to one membership per household, and the offer is only available in the UK. Membership is subject to acceptance and we may consult a licensed credit agency that may record the search. Applicants must be over 18 years of age.
