I've simply no interest in committing to =any= book for a year at a time
unless the price of that commitment comes much, much closer to "free"
than does this. As it is, I'm finding more and more that books to which
I'm committing only a =month= or two in advance (via DCBS) to have been a
waste of my time and money; why would I want to tie myself down, sight
unseen, for a much longer period? For what amounts to a thirteen point
discount on what I'm already paying DCBS? (Or a three point discount, or
a twenty-two point penalty, depending on the book.) And to subject the
books I buy to the vagaries of the US Mail, on top of all that?

No... thanks, but I'll pass.
