Main Point Books has the ultimate gift for the reader in your life -- even if the recipient is yourself! Whether you love reading, collecting books, or simply the idea of a surprise in novel form, you should consider joining Main Point Books’s Monthly Book by Mail, launched in January 2017. Membership is the perfect gift for yourself, or other readers in your life.

Members will receive twelve newly published books of fiction – one each month. The selections are newly published works chosen for appeal to our readers, potential collectability and with an eye to regional writing that deserves to be highlighted. Scroll down to check out the selections so far!

We choose books we truly love.  Each one will be a book we have enjoyed reading; a book we appreciate as a beautiful object; a book we think is important and valuable; a book we want to share with you. Like you, we here at Main Point Books are avid readers who treasure good writing, well crafted stories and books that engage on multiple levels. When possible the books will be signed first editions.

Membership is free. All you pay is the publisher's list price on the book ($26 - $30 on average per month) plus a flat shipping charge of $5. You may also choose to pick up your selection each month at Main Point Books with no additional shipping charge. You will only be charged when the book is shipped or ready for you to pick up.

Memberships make great gifts! Whether you give to it a spouse who treasures books, a new college graduate, or to that special bibliophile friend, it's a unique gift that will be appreciated every month. You may choose to give a gift membership for six months, one year, or indefinitely, and you may cancel the membership at any time. Main Point Books also offers free gift wrapping, provided at your request.
