Joykins is pointing to the fundamental problem of most such clubs, even in the DTB world. I used to belong to the History Book Club several decades ago and found that they seldom carried anything I was interested in beyond the six for one penny deal they used as the enticement. Made it tough to find three books to fulfill the minimum. Fortunately, I didn't have to pay a fixed amount each month or I REALLY would have been irritated by the poor selection.
