I belong to several hardcover book clubs which have web sites as well as operate through the good ol’ USPS. But every club I’ve found on the web, with one exception, sells hardcover books ONLY. The exception is Quality Paperback Book Club.
Anyone know if there is a “regular-sized” paperback book club, or is there not one in existence? I know eBay and Half.com sell USED paperback books, but what about new ones?
“Regular sized”?
Please explain. I belong the the QPBC. GREAT selection, surprisingly. I’m an ancient history junkie and they have something to feed my habit almost every month and at prices I can afford.
Sorry, I wasn’t specific enough. I mean fictional paperbacks, genre fiction like SF, fantasy, horror, romance, western, thriller, that sort of thing. Paperbacks under $10 like you can find in supermarkets everywhere near the magazine stands. Paperbacks like those written by Stephen King, Piers Anthony, Tom Clancy, Dean Koontz, etc. Quality Paperback Book Club is great for non-fiction, but what about genre fiction? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Arden, I think Snark means mass market as opposed to trade sized books. Mass market size being the standard paperback book size.
Snark,
Why don’t you buy the books thru Barnes and Noble, Buy.com and the like? They sell paperbacks.
Actually, I’m looking for a good deal such as “Get 12 books for the price of 1, with nothing more to buy, ever!” Hey, it worked for the CD club. Why can’t they do it with paperbacks?
