BDS offers a monthly (or bi-monthly) subscription for your book group. You get the group together and we take care of the rest!
You can register a full or half programme group at any time during the year. Your first meeting can be held as early as seven days later, except from mid-November to early January when BDS ceases dispatches for the holidays. Once registered, we'll send you a copy of your calendar with all your meeting dates so you can keep track and share them with your group!
We are a non-profit and charitable trust sustained almost exclusively by membership fees. You can see a full breakdown of costs on our fees page.
Getting enough people together to start a group can seem hard, but you'll be surprised how quickly a group can form once you advertise the fact you're starting a book club:
