Update on book club finances
 As part of our ongoing service to book clubs, we have supplied a breakdown of how the book club registration fees have been spent so far in 2012. We are pleased to provide the following information, to demonstrate that the registration fees are being spent in accordance with our commitment to book club members. All revenue generated from the book club registration fees goes directly back into the purchase of new titles for the exclusive use of book clubs. No money is expended on the purchase of the boxes in which the titles are housed and distributed, or other, non-book club related costs. The table below provides details on the amount of revenue generated, and the number of items purchased using the book club registration fees. The last line in the table demonstrates that not all funds have been expended, but these funds are being carried forward to purchase books for book clubs in the near future.
| Balance of registration fees carried forward from 2011 | $ 3,383.00 | | Total revenue obtained through 2012 book club registrations | $20,383.00 | | Total number of books purchased for book clubs in 2012 | 344 | | Total expenditure on books for book clubs in 2012 | $ 7652.12 | | Balance to be expended on books for book clubs | $16,113.88 |

Reservation Hot Tip!
 When reserving book sets for your club, reserve only titles that are available. This will ensure that you have a really good chance of getting a set by the time you have your next meeting. Reserving anything that is on loan, on order or coming soon is not a sure thing. The 'Coming Soon' status can mean up to two weeks before available as the material has just been processed by our suppliers. The 'On Order' status will take four to six weeks, sometimes longer, if coming from overseas, plus processing time. To help you out there are guidelines on the web for all book clubs to read. How to reserve guide
