The Inner Lives of Book Clubs: New Research Offers Surprising Insights!
We are pleased to announce the publication of "The Inner Lives of Book Clubs."
This fascinating report is the first to really get to the heart of the book club experience. It's the result of two surveys of more than 5,000 people, combined with BookBrowse's more than 15 years of book club experience and research.

Among much else, you will discover:
- The attributes most successful book groups share.
