Howard Dean joins board of the Progressive Book Club. I am impressed by this group.

I had not been aware of it before. Looks like something progressives have needed for a long time to counteract the right wing book sales. Very impressed.

I am a sucker for book clubs anyway, and this one looks like a winner.

Sounds like a good deal. Be sure to the authors posting at the blog.

Stuff like this drops pretty quickly.

As usual.

The latter option is really annoying.

Joining Progressive Book Club Is Easy

Begin your membership in Progressive Book Club (PBC) by selecting 3 books for just $1 each. Your credit card will be charged $3, plus $9.95 shipping and processing charges (and sales tax where applicable), upon shipment of the books.

All we ask is that you agree to buy just 4 more books at regular club prices (including shipping and processing charges and sales tax where applicable) over the next 2 years. You may cancel at any time after you fulfill your purchase commitment by notifying us via our website or by calling Progressive Book Club customer service.

Risk-Free Membership—Satisfaction Guaranteed

Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. If, for any reason, you are not pleased with your introductory books, return them within 14 days of receipt at our expense. Your membership will be canceled; you'll owe nothing. We will credit your credit card with the full amount of the introductory offer charges, including a refund of all shipping and processing charges associated with your introductory books.

As a member, you can purchase the latest progressive books at competitive savings (most titles will be 10–30% off list prices), and with sales and specials throughout the year, you may save as much as 70–80% off list prices on select titles.

Once a month (12 times a year), you’ll receive an email notifying you of the PBC PICK and alternate book selections, which are chosen by our Editorial Board If you want to receive only the PBC PICK, do nothing and it will be sent to you automatically, or you can order the PBC PICK right away to receive it more quickly. If you do not want to receive the PBC PICK, simply reply by the specified date via our website; you’ll always have at least 3 weeks to decide. We will send you an email reminder regarding the PBC Pick before the specified reply-by date.

You agree to keep a valid credit card on file at Progressive Book Club. Your credit card will be charged only for the books and products that you order, as well as for any PBC PICK shipments. These charges will include shipping and processing charges (and sales tax where applicable), unless otherwise specified during the checkout process. We will not charge your credit card until a book is shipped to you.

Please read the Membership Agreement on the registration/billing shipping information page to get the complete details of membership.

I see so many books on this site that I want to read. For now it's the library though.

I order most of my books now through Abe Books. I used to use the library all the time, but for various reasons now it is easier to order.

This sounds like a great way to keep up on progressive books, maybe counteract the huge bulk sales done by the right wing.

but I do browse websites for book ideas. Although I did find 2 progressive books at Dollar Tree a few months ago. Those I can afford to buy.
