A Great Gift Idea:  Children’s and Adult Book-of-the-Month Clubs

The Book Stall’s book-of-the-month clubs for children and adults are ever-popular gifts.  For the giver, it’s easy!  Let us know a child’s age and special interests and we’ll tailor our book picks to them.   For both children and adults, books can be mailed out once a month, or every other month, or on a schedule of your choosing.   For adults, we choose books according to the recipients’ interests (some even call us to let us know what they would like). 

To order this special gift, please call us at 847 446-8880 and ask for Colleen Luxem for children’s books or Nancy Randall for adults.

CHIL' Children's Book Club S CLUB We've made it super easy for you - a busy parents, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or friend - to encourage the habit of reading: Here's how it works: Regularly, in a time frame you choose, we will select a book for the child, charge it to your credit card, and mail it directly via FedEx. Selections appropriate to age and interest will be made by one of our children's book specialists who will choose from recently published favorites. In addition, our staff will maintain an ongoing record of your child's growing Book Club library. As a member of the Children's Book Club, you may elect to send either hardcover books at an average cost of $16.00, or paperbacks, which average $6.00 (plus tax when applicable). You may also choose to send twelve selections per year (one a month), or six selections per year (every other month). Duplications may be exchanged but, sorry, shipping charges are not refundable. Number Ten Club memberships will apply. Application forms for The Children's Book Club are available at The Book Stall, or just call - we will be happy to sign your child up today!
