Yes, the SF book club is worth it, if you like to read good ones multiple times. You get a fair quality hardback for a little more than a paperback price (NFP: I, too, used to buy new paperbacks for $0.60). It's not hard to find 4 good ones to buy in your first year, after which there is no minimum required purchase. They have reprints of classics as well as early printings of current ones. (Life, the Universe, and Everything was in my possession while SFL people were talking about making a trip to England to buy one.) The main disadvantage is that their default is that you buy both of the featured books, so if you don't deal with your mail until a month after you get it, you're likely to have to return things you didn't want.
