Our distinguished board of historians - including such eminent scholars as William C. Davis and Elliot West - painstakingly review thousands of books a year from top authors and publishers. They recommend only those titles which deliver the best in accuracy, insight, and historical writing. Quality is never a question with History Book Club; you can rest assured that every book we offer truly is the best that history has to offer

You may order using the reply card that comes with the catalog or on our History Book Club members’ website. In each issue, we also recommend an Editors’ Choice, a book which we believe is of such importance and reading pleasure that it is a must-have for everyone with an interest in history. If you wish to receive an Editors’ Choice, do nothing and we will send it to you.
