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 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.

I belonged to the first four of those (although not all at the same time) and later joined the QBP.
I was in the s-f bc and the Military BC.
