- Childhood favorites
- "Guilty pleasure" titles
- Conversation starters and tips for keeping discussions lively
- Theme gatherings and special places for meetings
- Drink and food recipes
- Craft ideas
- And much more
Review:
"It will be with some trepidation that I heartily recommend this reference to the 60 clubs registered with our store. If I hide it from them, then I may remain a necessary resource. If they own The Book Club Companion, however, their book club 'coordinator' may become superfluous! My compromise will be to quote Diana Loevy on the many topics she includes — from discussion basics to the New Year's Resolutions for book clubs — and hope that I am credited with channeling her wit and wisdom!" Cheryl McKeon, Book Club Coordinator, Third Place Books
