Don't sign up for this club - You'll be sorry if you do!

by sstrayer, Dec 20, 2010 Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
My advice to you is to NOT sign up for this club.  Many of the books they try to push every month are not great selections, and if you don't make selections in a timely fashion, they'll ding you and make you pay a huge sum all at once.  This is ...

Not Worth it at all!

by contramundi, Feb 2, 2009 Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Terrible Service, do yourself a favor and don't join this book club. I repeatedly recieved the "monthly selection" even though I always went on the web site and tried to opt out for that month. The "Monthly Selection" is invariably some overpriced ...

Beware of online orders from Doubleday Book Club!

by lindas1990, Oct 13, 2005 Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
