I was a member of this club and I think it was a pretty good deal. You only
had to buy one or two more books at regular club prices and then your
obligation was over. Also, every time you signed someone up under you they
got the discounted books and they you could pick up to $120 or 3 books for
free (minus S&H). Their prices are cheaper than most on-line book stores,
you don't need a credit card to pay or sign-up. They are slow (3-4 weeks)
when delivering, but I think it's worth it for the price you pay for the
books. As far as the monthly book card that comes, you can decline the book
on the website and you can actually decline 3-4 months in advance. I'm not
a member anymore, since it has been awhile since I ordered a book, but for
someone who wants to start building a library then this is a good way to
start without making a significant investment. In my particular case I
received around 15 books for the $9.99 you pay for the initial set, and then
buy getting some friends to sign up. I bough a couple of books at member
prices and then I was finished, and S&H wasn't that bad. If I remember
correctly S&H was usually less than $20 for 2-3 books. Now you add that to
the $9.99 you paid and you couldn't get one of those books for that price.
Just my $.02. Hope this clarifies some of it for everyone.

Well, like in any club ;) Since I buy about 1-2 computer book a month
anyway, I found it as a good deal. You're right, if you don't plan to get
books later on - it's just not worth it. Terms & Conditions don't specify
how long you are obligated to be in the "club"..
Thanks for comments !
