I am an avid reader and received this subscription as a present. I have to say that the books are beautifully presented - I love the bookmarks and the postcards and the way that they are wrapped. But, I have been disappointed in the books themselves. I can honestly say that I have only really enjoyed one out of the five that I have read to date and that was the last one: I absolutely hated two of them. I will not be renewing my subscription and I would not recommend this to a friend. I think a good subscription needs to be linked to a specific reader's preferences, an A or B choice is not enough.
