it happens lot of time with doublebook club. i have read also somewhere that many customers got the notices for the bills that they have never ordered. although, if you ask me overall it is a good club. I guess something has messed up there.
But still if the other 4 books that are need to buy are expensive than what you can get at some other place, then definitely cancel the deal. You can compare all book prices at http://gauchotexts.com

The advice you’ve gotten about your account is correct. I just popped in to say that the quality of the books usually isn’t very good: the bindings, cheap paper, even the ink is inferior. Also, the books themselves are usually smaller in size. They have to cut corners somewhere. Later, you don’t save all that much on the books so, personally, I’d rather buy quality used books than book club editions any day.

Add: Hey, Kari, good decision!

It does indeed take forever or so it seems to get the books. Moneywise, it is a so so fair deal . The pricing would average out. But after you have paid for the other four books, I keep the flyer that comes monthly to see what the latest books are and then buy the books direct from Amazon or Barnes and Noble. You get a much better price and you can buy used books that are just as good as new.

Kari,

What you have to do is find out if you actually paid for the books. If not, then you have to send them back or they will bill you or send you to a credit bureau/collection agency.

If you paid for the books already, just tell them you’ll keep the books but you no longer want to be in the book club and you already cancelled. If you didn’t pay, send them back advising them you cancelled and are returning the books.
