I disagree.  I just rejoined for the nth time, where n is approximately
10.  I'm an avid reader, and go thru several books a month.  I've
been waiting for the latest Pohl Heechee book to come out, and when
the Book club did, I rejoined.  You get 5 books for a buck plus shipping;
(total is $6.00); plus you have to buy 4 more in a year. (Say average
cost is $7.00).  In other words, you pay about $34.00 for 9 books,
which is about the price of a paperback edition.  Furthermore, I have
yet to see the Pohl book in paperback.

Note: I don't intend to stay in longer than necessary; after 4 books
I just dropout.  If you buy more than one book at a time, you sometimes
save on shipping.  Also, you can occasionally get specials not otherwise
available, (such as the Dragon Rider's trilog) which work out as a better
deal.  Or on occasion, the book club may offer 6 books for a dollar.
Also, once in the past, they sent me a special offer to rejoin; it
seemed slightly better than the average deal.
