The Dr. Seuss Book ClubWhat You Need to KnowTa-da! I can now recommend the Dr. Seuss Book Club To be honest, these book clubs drive me crazy. They're always changing their rules. And sure enough, the Dr. Seuss Book Club - which I used to recommend against - has just informed me they've made a change where I now think I can recommend them. The change? No obligation. Cancel at any time. That's pretty huge. And it gets better. They now have a bill me later
And get this: free shipping on your initial books. Starting to see why I'm recommending this? Oh, and don't forget... Dr. Seuss was the greatest picture book author of all time and your kids should be exposed to his books! The new Dr. Seuss Book Club deal... Now remember: everything I'm telling you is subject to them changing the rules again! So when you get to the site, make sure you check to see that the terms are still as I'm describing them! When you start up, they're going to send you four books. Free. No shipping and handling. (And they throw in a free tote bag.) All you have to do is buy The Cat in the Hat for $4.99. So you're getting 5 books and the tote bag for $4.99. Period. It gets better... You can order two more books at the same time for $4.99 each. Still no shipping and handling. That's right: You've just scored 7 books (and the tote bag) for $14.97. You are now the shopper - and the parent - of the year. How exactly can they be this generous? Well, the Dr. Seuss Book Club is of course hoping you'll continue. Because now, unless you cancel, they're going to send you two books a month automatically. Even these books will only cost $4.99 (deal!) plus an unspecified (scary!) shipping and handling charge. But remember, you can cancel at any time. Also, you can return any books that are shipped to you (but you have to do it at your expense). Two other things 1) Unlike other book clubs, you're not given the option of refusing the $4.99 books before they're sent to you. So you don't have the hassle of refusing all the time, and at the price you really can't get burned. However... 2) Four times a year, they're going to offer you "two giant-size Dr. Seuss classics or other items to complement your club." These things, they say, will likely cost $18.00 plus shipping and handling. So now we know the catch! Here's the good news... With these big items, they will warn you. You can decline to have them sent. Also, if they do send them, you can return them (at your expense). So here's what it comes down to The Dr. Seuss Book Club is a rockin' deal, so long as the 4 times a year when they send you a notification you bother to say, "No, I don't want that" (if in fact you don't). If you can handle that minor hassle, here's how you sign up.
