Have you ever thought of joining a book club and buying new books through the post? Here at the International Book Club, we already have many members buying books from us by mail.
Immediate(直接的) benefits：
·As a special offer, you may choose any reduced－price books from our new members’ book list, to the value of ￡6 in total (plus postage)．
·Tick(给……打钩) the box on your form to order a free watch.
·If you reply within seven days, we will send you another free gift carefully chosen from our book list.
·Order a DVD from the many on offer in our list, at half price.
When you’ve joined：
As a member, you’ll enjoy savings of between 30% and 50% off the publisher’s price on every book you buy, and what’s more, they’ll come straight to your door. Your free club magazine arrives once a month, to keep you up to date with the laters best－sellers.
Being a member：
All we are asking you to do while you are a member is to choose four books during your first year. After that, you can decide on the number of books you wish to take.
In each of our monthly club magazines, we choose a Club Choice book—a work of fiction(小说) or a reference title which is especially worth buying, and which is offered at a special price. However, if you do not want this book, just say no in the space provided on the form. We will always send the book if we do not receive this.
So, return your application form today, but hurry—it’s not every day we can make you an offer like this. To apply to become a member, all you need to do is send us your first order from our book list. Please don’t send any money now, as we will send you your bill with the books.
