Now, I found one site looking, just just through searching online that compiles a lot of different clubs together so you can see all of the details, and compare them, and find the one that's the best fit for what you're looking for, that's bookcluboffers.com, and there's a dash between those, the words book and club and offers. So, that's a site that will help you to look at all the different agreements up front, and choose the one that's the best fit. It compiles them all together for you. Generally, you can join these clubs online by filling out an online form. Just be sure to read carefully what you're committing to, and make sure that that's going to work for you. For example, if you don't want to have it spread out out over five years, be sure to find out what the duration of your agreement is going to be, how many books you're going to be expected to purchase. Check at, check the catalog to make sure that it's, you're going to be able to find the books that you're really interested in in within that catalog, so be sure you find a book club that's going to offer you what you're looking for. Once you've found one, and and submit the materials online, you also want to be sure to look for the catalogs that they send. Some of the clubs might mail you a book, and then you have to decide whether to keep it or not. That can be another thing to think about when looking for a club that's a fit. If you want to be in that role of having to accept or decline books, and make sure that you know what to look for. So, online is a great way to join a discounted book club.
