Fantasy & SF Book Club

... With FSF (Fantasy and Science Fiction), I had difficulty not spending too much! It’s worth pointing out that I didn’t own many fantasy or sci-fi books before I started, so there was a wealth of choice for me – in other words, I had no difficulty fulfilling the membership ... Read review

For Super Fantasy - set cynicism aside

Advantages: cheap books!
Disadvantages: have to order from every magazine, and I'm not fond of the club editions

...discovered how much I liked fantasy and science fiction, so I joined the club specifically for that.

So, first bit of advice for anyone thinking of joining one of these book clubs: make sure you have a fairly big interest in the particular genre. That first club I joined didn’t stick to one area, and I had difficult finding books I wanted. With FSF (Fantasy and Science Fiction), I had difficulty not spending too much! It’s ...
...times, choosing sci-fi twice and fantasy once, and the books I received were Rainbow Mars and Burning City, both by Larry Niven, and Arthur C. Clarke’s The Trigger. I doubt I would have bought any of them myself, but I thoroughly enjoyed the one I’ve read so far. All of these books were club editions, published that year, and all were in the club magazine at that time for £9.99 each. I suppose there’s always the likelihood of getting ... more

Reading From Your Armchair

Advantages: Special Offers, Great Variety, Easy To Use
Disadvantages: Editors Choices, Postage Charges, Minimum Membership Orders

...best range of Sci-Fi and Fantasy material I've found anywhere. Since it is genre specific, you never have to hunt for that next book in a series again. First time authors are profiled and there are member reviews as well as the Editors Choices. I have to mention that although the Editors Choices can be inconvenient, they can also coincide with your own tastes!! Quite often the book I want by a major author is also the Editor's Choice. The books available ...
...legends like Buffy and Angel or high profile series and films like Star Wars and Star Trek to Horror novels. There is essentially something for everyone who has an interest in this area including Limited Editions,Illustrated Editions and Leatherbound Editions of authors like Tolkien and Pratchett. Another thing I like about FSF is the ability to get books from US which aren't always available in UK book shops or books written by authors under another ...

Fantasy and SF book club

Advantages: Reduced prices
Disadvantages: Lack of stock consistency

...hardback) bearing in mind that fantasy and SF is a niche market and most of the titles won't be top 10 bestsellers which would result in major retailers reducing them by 50%. Slightly older stock will be sold at reduced prices ocasionally e.g. 2 books for £16 P&P is around £3 no matter how many books are ordered and I have found the best way round this is to ask friends if they want anything from the magazine, thereby increasing the size of the ...
...in different formats (the book club prints special edition books which are a little smaller than normal hardbacks.) It should also be noted that while the club is called the fantasy and sf book club the main emphasis is fantasy and sf readers may have trouble fulfilling their commitment. ...

Join the club

Advantages: Great choice, amazing prices
Disadvantages: You do have to comit to ordering every magazine

...are a serious sci-fi and fantasy fan (like me!) then having to order 6 from a blind list or worse having someone else’s choice forced on you is a nightmare. But since the bad mad old days of book clubs they have invented a little thing called the Internet. And this really has made all the difference in the world. While I can't speak for other book clubs what I can tell you about the Science Fiction and Fantasy club is that they are superb. ...
...I heartily recommend this great book club to any scifi and fantasy fan who reads at least a couple of books per month. There are two ways to join, either look out for that glossy magazine ad! or go to www.fsf.co.uk and check out their great joining offer. ...

Fantasy/Science Fiction Books

Disadvantages: Book Commitment, Editors Choice, Poor Delivery, Low Customer Service

The Fantasy & Science Fiction Book Club (FSF) is an online and catalogue based book club, offering readers the chance to purchase Fantasy and Science Fiction books, at great savings against the recommended retail price (RRP). *Introductory Offer from FSF* I originally joined FSF in June 03, on the recommendation of a friend, and have purchased many books from the FSF website. I rarely use the catalogue to order from as I find it time consuming, ...

Book Club mayhem

Advantages: Good selection of books and cheaper
Disadvantages: Editor's choice

...reader of Science fiction and Fantasy so this club definitely sounded ideal for me. All you have to do is sign up, order 4/5 books at an introductory prices and then purchase regularly from the catalogue, which is sent once every two months. Videos, special deals, collectables, were all on offer. Still interested then read on.......... Everything had been going right, so I really had nothing to complain about but when things went wrong then my perception ...
...To summarise, every so often the club will offer a signed plate by the author of a specific title, these items are limited in number so they have to be ordered pretty quickly. I did so and was pleased to be notified i'd be receiving a signed Ursula K LeGuin plate a worthwhile addition to anyone's collection. The book arrived in record time with an advice note, informing me the plate was being sent separately. After 3 months of receiving these advice ...
