My total for 5 books was $34.38, and I am only obligated to buy one more book in the next year. You can decline monthly selections on line as well. Club prices are reasonable - the Giuliano Hazan book is only $9.95. Nice to be able to indulge an addiction for so little money!

You can find better prices elsewhere, (once you do the initial offer) ,but one thing I like is you can order books and then pay for them later. That causes me to indulge more than I should though. -Becca Sat Jan 21 11:57:11 -0800 2006 1506404 0 Becca Porter 2 1506475 In my case, the ease with which this book club allows me to buy more cookbooks must be defined as "enabling addictive behavior". Last damn thing in the world I needed was yet another pipeline to my mainline, and now I'm gonna have to buy another house just to keep the cookbooks in! Even though a significant number of the offerings are eminently resistible (anything boasting shortcuts, or whose title includes the words "quick" and/or "easy"), there are still entirely too many very good and solid works by very good authors, at very good prices.
