Children's Book-of-the-Month Club FAQ

Q: Who are we?
A: Children's Book-of-the-Month Club is operated by Doubleday Canada Limited (DCL), the premier direct marketer of general interest and specialty book clubs in Canada. With over 65 years experience, our Book Club Family offers book lovers the books they want at low, low prices.

Q: How can you offer such low prices on your books?
A: DCL is a leader in the field of direct marketing - which means we print, promote and sell our products directly to you - our customers - avoiding the middleman. That's why we're able to offer our club members impressive savings off the publisher's price on every book every day.

Q: How many titles do you offer?
A: Our club members have access to thousands of titles from all publishers that have been hand selected by editors in tune with what you like to read. Say goodbye to long lineups and searching through crowded stores. We do the work so you can focus on reading great books, not searching for them!

Q: What kind of books will I find in Children's Book-of-the-Month Club?
A: We're the ONLY kids' book club with the editorial resources of the Book-of-the-Month Club behind us. From treasuries of beloved stories to today's most exciting new choices, our editors evaluate every book so you can count on finding only the best books available. As an additional service, we provide suggested age recommendations, highlight award winners, and also offer reissues of the classics you remember from your own childhood. So when you choose a book for your little one, we can guarantee that it's the perfect choice.

Q: How do I choose my books?
A: You'll receive our FREE Club catalogue, about every 3 weeks (up to 18 times a year). Choose from the Featured Selection or Alternate Selections, or from a selection of recently offered titles. In addition, you can expect up to 2 special issues with super selections and more members-only discounts.

Q: How do I place an order?
A: If you want the Featured Selection, do nothing; we'll send it to you automatically. To cancel it, or order other books instead, simply accept/decline online, call (416) 977-3415 or return your Member Reply Form by the marked date. Our Web site makes membership easier than ever! You can order or decline your Featured Selections (no cards to return!), order other books online, (including items from our special interest flyers and merchandise offers). You can also check your account balance at your convenience.

Q: What's the catch?
A: There is none! You need only purchase 4 more books over the next two years at our regular low prices during your membership.
