BUT THERE IS ANOTHER CHOICE:
Book-of-the-Month Club
Yes, it’s a Book of the Month Club tailored to your preference. Maybe you like Science Fiction? A Memoir? Try out the burgeoning Horror genre? No need to limit this to a Mystery of the Month (from the full range of what’s publishing). Go wild, choose what interests you. Or ask Pat to choose books similar to those by authors you tell him you like
It works the same as the Subscription Clubs except our administrator Pat King logs in your preferences and selects a book each month to match. He’s been doing this for over 20 years. There is a minimal shipping charge.
To join or to make a gift to someone please email Pat King: Pat@poisonedpen.com
OK, ONE MORE IDEA FOR YOU
If you have a favorite author whose books you do not want to miss, we can do what we call an AUTO RESERVE
You go onto a list for that author (authors) and are included in the preorders but not charged until the book comes in
