I was a QPB Club member for a couple of years, and liked it too. Good titles, usually well-produced volumes. Best of all, you're under no obligation to buy any specified number of books -- if you really want to, you can just keep sending back their little cards every month saying no, really, you dont want this month's selection. But you'll probably find something worth buying. And the prices are very reasonable. -- ...ihnp4!btlunix!rajeev -- usenet ihnp4!btlunix!rajeev@BERKELEY -- arpanet Sri Rajeev, SF 1-342, Bell Labs, Summit, NJ 07901. (201)-522-6330.
