$150 in computer books for $10 + S/H

So, have you guys got your books yet? I submitted my application for processing, but nowhere did I ask to give the payment info, or does that come later in the mail? Overall, this doesn't seem to be a bad deal.

Thanks,

JHY

Maybe I should wait a few days to see if you guys get your books first b/f I ask that question.
 
A shipping and handling charge (and sales tax where applicable) is added to each order.

This isn't going to be huge like it was in the old days with BMG and Columbia House, is it?
 
Hmm it never made me pay.

$4.99 + $6.45 shipping to fulfill your requirements.

Total: $33.61 shipped. Not bad for:

Thw Windows 2000 Resource Kit contains Mastering Windows 2000 Server, Mastering Windows 2000 Professional, Mastering Windows 2000 Registry, and Mastering Active Directory. Very nice.

FYI: The $4.99 book for fulfillment that I found was "A Sigh of Relief: The First-Aid Handbook for Childhood Emergencies (840710)" in the Special Interests section. Why they have those books in the computer/technology club, who knows, but that works for me.
 
Hey i ordered the same deal last week myself..BTW does anyone have that phone number to call them?😕
 
There are other book clubs on the same site - I'm thinking that's where the special interest books are coming from...I think I saw a novel or two in there...



<< $4.99 + $6.45 shipping to fulfill your requirements. >>

The company is run by Doubleday, i think, so they should be legit.
