BOMC2 (formerly Zooba Book Club) is a novel, subscription-based book service, established on a concept which eliminates two main drawbacks of traditional book clubs: featured selections and high shipping charges. It works like this: you compile a list of books you'd like to read (your Reading List), and BOMC2 sends you the top book from that list each month and charges you a $9.95 monthly fee, which includes shipping and handling costs. Additional books you buy are also $9.95 in most cases (some select titles are $12.95) and are also shipped to you free of charge.

BOMC2 members can choose among 6500+ titles, mostly newer hardcover bestsellers spanning a wide range of genres. Fiction and non-fiction titles are equally well represented. Some popular authors include James Patterson, Danielle Steel, Nicholas Sparks, John Grisham, Nora Roberts, Sylvia Browne, Dean Koontz... just to name few.

The main benefit of BOMC2 membership are the savings, and they are accomplished in three ways: first, there's the $9.95 flat-rate pricing model. You save at least 35% off the majority of hardcover books compared to even the largest online retailers. Then there's free shipping: it applies to each and every order, you never have to worry about the book not being eligible for free shipping, or group your orders into bundles worth $25 or $50 or whatever. Finally, your first book (and you can choose a $130 encyclopedia if you like) is free of charge.

Important note: you will be charged $9.95 each month regardless of whether or not your Reading List is empty. You should have at least one book selection on it at least one day prior to shipping date, otherwise BOMC2 will not be able to ship you your book for that month. However, if such a situation occurs, you can still remedy it by putting a book on your list within the next 30 days – and it will be shipped to you immediately.

BOMC2 book club membership does not come without an obligation, but it’s small enough: once you accept your free introductory book, you will be required to stay a member for three more months or buy three more books at the regular $9.95 club price, with free shipping on each item. That brings your total minimum cost of membership to just $29.85.

Bottom line: if you are a book lover with an affinity for latest bestsellers, and if you are in the habit of buying at least one book a month (of course you are), then it is likely you won’t regret giving BOMC2 a try. Worst thing that can happen is, you wind up with four hardcover bestsellers for the price of one.
