Here is a list of every main pick of Book of the Month Club (BOTM) since the start. I am going to keep this up to date for anyone wanting to keep track! It is a PDF. This took me forever to create, but it is finally done!

The checklist only goes back to 2015. Are you planning to update?
Please update!! 🫶🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is updated monthly.
I am trying to find out if B. A. Botkin’s, A Treasury of American Folklore (1944) was every a book of the month club selection. This would be very important for the historical research I am doing on Botkin.
I’m looking for Salmon Rushdie’s book Satanic Verses that I’m sure I bought from BOMC circa 1990. It’s for something I’m writing and not critical, but this got me excited for a trip down memory lane.
I stopped buying books that way when Amazon was just an online bookseller in the mid-1990s, so, long prior to the start of this list. For a while I could afford to pay full price. My second hand book store won’t buy used BOTM club books by the way. They say they are abridged, which I don’t remember being the case.
