I was in BOTM Club (and later Paperback Book of the Month and History Book of the Month Club) for years. Acquired a lot of interesting books that way.

At my peak book club membership:
BOMC
Literary Guild
Science Fiction Book Club
Mystery Book Club
Library of Urban Affairs
History Book Club (before the BOMC acquired and ruined it; it was run out of some guy's garage in Connecticut)

This was, I will note, before the Quality Paperback Club...and long, long before the internet (early 1970s), and, where I was living at the time (West Virginia), partly a consequence of a dearth of bookstores.

I belonged to the first four of those (although not all at the same time) and later joined the QBP.
