"Scam"

Just like all the other reviews posted, I ordered a couple subscriptions as gifts and they still have not been fulfilled. I have been in contact via email and the respondent is agreeable and says the books should be arriving soon, but I have been waiting 6 months. 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND this business.

"Avoid at all costs"

I was gifted a six-month subscription in 2021 and loved it so much I wanted to get a subscription for my mom. Like many others on here, I gave my mom a six-month subscription at the end of 2022 and she has received one book. Whoever is answering the emails doesn't feel like a real person who cares what you say and after emailing them for many months and them stringing me along I'm very confident I just paid a lot of money for a single book. I don't know what happened in 2023 that changed, but it is shameful that they are still acting like they are a legitimate business.

"If I could give zero stars I would"

If I could give zero stars I would. Echoing the other 1-star reviews on here, I was also ripped off by this sham retailer. I purchased a 3 month subscription for my father for Christmas in 2022; as of this writing in February 2024 only ONE book was delivered. Multiple emails have promised to make the situation right, which has proven so far to be a lie. I managed to get someone on the phone months ago who told me the owner was “going through some stuff.” The only “stuff” I could imagine enabling business behavior so poor is death itself.

Don’t support this at-best-incompetent, at-worst-fraudulent business.

"This is a scam"

This is a scam. I ordered a six month subscription for my mother during Christmas 2022 and she received only two books. The second arrived after I sent an email, so it seems I was luckier than most to get two books out of them.

"Thieves"

It's been almost a year now since we bought our 12 month package. We never received any books and they refuse to refund our money. Thieves!!!!!!

"Dishonest Book sellers"

I bought a 6 month subscription in March 2023. I received one book in May and one book in July. I needed to write multiple emails in order to receive the two books. In August I requested they send the remainder of the books together and was told they would be put in the mail in the coming week. It is December, I have not received the books and my emails go unanswered. This company is not trustworthy and doesn’t keep their word. Don’t throw your money away. There are better book subscriptions out there.

"Received only 1 book in neatly a year"

I received a one-year book subscription as a gift in Dec 2002. The cost was about $180, I believe. I finally received one book in March 2023 only after contacting the company several times. It was a wonderful book, but not worth $180. I have received nothing since except for excuses via email and phone. I have requested a refund but expect that the money is long gone. Such a disappojnting experience.

"Product not received"

I was given a 6 month subscription as a gift. I waited 3 months to get my first book. I received two books in July and nothing since. Emails go unanswered. Phone calls get passed to the owner who doesn't respond.

"Horrible company. Must be a scam"

My wife has had a subscription for many years. She was happy until 2023. Then everything went horribly wrong. Now they are no longer sending books for a 1 yr subscription we paid for. They haven’t sent any books for the past 4 months. They are no longer answering emails. Horrible company now. It must be a scam. They recently changed locations from Illinois to California. Do not give them your money. I will be logging a complaint with BBB.

"11 months and still waiting on these over priced books."

I received a 3 book subscription from my son. That cost $100 for THREE books. I received nothing for 6 months, even though i was emailing, and reminding them. Finally in June, they sent 1 book, which was something I had read..... and there was a note that said, " we are moving, we will send the other two books immediately. "
They sent two more books --- that were ridiculous. One was a hardback about Richard Nixon and the Republican party. Might have been a great book, but did I ask for that type of book? No. I also received the tiniest little paperback book , about some silk worm merchant hundreds of years ago. It was about 20 pages, and I tried reading it, but it was a terrible book. I think they may buy random boxes of books from publishers, and that is what they send. There is no "curating" for what you might want to read.
I wrote and told them, I am returning these books. They said, donate them, we will send 2 more. Its been 5 months, and I have received nothing. DO NOT Do business with this company.
