I am a member of the Small Computer Book Club, as well as the Library of Computer and Information Sciences Book Club. Both of these book clubs are divisions of Newbridge Communications. They used to be part of the MacMillan book clubs until the employees formed Newbridge. Each of these book clubs has strengths and weaknesses. I usually get about a book every two months from Library of Comp and Info Sci and almost never get any from the Small Computer Book Club. This is mostly because of my current interests vs the books offered. I have most of want I want relating to Small Comuters and the new books are not that interesting to me. I have most of the books I want from the Lib of Comp & Info Sci; however, every month or two, the new titles appeal to me. Each book bought from either club counts toward 1 or 2 of 4 credits needed for the next bonus book coupon, which is a substantial savings. Getting new members to join get you coupons for free books. I have been highly satisfied with LCIS and might drop Small Computer if I go much longer with no interest in their offerings... -- Max Heffler internet: max@lgc.com Landmark Graphics Corp. uucp: ..!uunet!lgc!max 333 Cypress Run, Suite 100 phone: (713) 579-4751 Houston, Texas 77094

I had a great deal to join and get 4 books free. I bought a couple of more and then decided to stop, since I was not using what I had. I found them to be a very professional group; never had any trouble, and that includes moving around a few times. Their prices are reasonable, and they had a few books I did not see anywhere else. have fun! Matt -- Matthew J. Harper UUCP: mit-eddie!progress!matth Progress Software Corp.
