WHY PEOPLE WHO DON'T 
JOIN BOOK CLUBS ARE JOININQ QPB 
Four reasons: 
Great books. Great 
authors. Great sav- 
ings. Great editions. 
QPB books are 
softcover editions in 
hardcover sizes, dura- 
bly bound and printed 
on fine paper. But 
they cost up to 65% 
less than their hard- 
cover counterparts. 
You don’t judge a 
book by its cover, so 
why pay for the 
cover?
