We've been seeing it on the book stands since December 1, but if past performance is any criterion, the book, will be delivered about the last week in January. _ Nothing, of course, is perfect, and the drawback (albeit a minor one) to Heritage Club membership, is a little four-page folder, called "The Sandglass" which is sent out with eaelrrvolume. It has as its apparent purpose, the intention of describing the volume it accompanies, but it is written with an at- tempted "light touch" which falls flab-4so flat that it results in a sort of adolescent, tongue-in-the-cheek, pseudo-sophisticated babbling that produces nothing so much as a not too faint feeling of nausea. Nevertheless, although the description of the books leaves almost everything to be desired, the books themselves are superb. The‘Book-of-the Month Club is an entirely dif- ferent proposition. As the Heritage Club confines itself to issuing editions of those books which time has proved to be enduring additions to the literature of the world, 1took-of-thiUronth picks those which, it thinks, are certainly of present importance, possibly of permanent importance. _ _ Thus, members who received Winston Churchill’s THE GATHERING STORM, got an excellent book of lasting importance; those who passed up Betty Smith’s TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER, didn't miss _anything at all. Some of the titlesrismed in the past few years are: MOBY DICK, THE DECAMERON, NANA, JOHN BROWN’S OBODY, MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY, RETURN OF THE NATIVE, BEEF WULF, THE COMPLEAT ANGLER, THE BOOK OF JOBand THE BOOK OF RUTH. [ The Heritage Club specializes in the production of beautifully illustrated, well-printed and finely- bound editions of the eiatstis-booka designed to build a really fine library which will be a source of real and enduring enjoyment. These volumes are illustrated by top-notch artists, and feature what is probably some of the finest typography being turned out today. - - . For the past few years, we've belonged to two of them, and we think these two clubs meet the require- ments of any booklover, with the possible exception of those possessed of sufficient green stuff to come up with $10 or more per volume. - The two we've tsetiled on are The Heritage Club and the Book-of-the-Month Club. The past few years have seen a veritable rash of book clubs in this country, until there is now a book dig) tosuit almqst any specialized taste.
