Every month, Progressive Book Club will bring you the latest and best books on the environment, the economy, healthcare, media, history, domestic and foreign policy, biography, Election '08, fiction and much more. We'll showcase new ideas and new authors for a new progressive era. We'll push back hard against conservative ideology - and help restore intellectual balance and honesty to our political culture.

The Progressive Book Club Editorial Board, comprising some of the brightest and most original thinkers of our time, sorts through thousands of choices to identify the most fascinating, critical and inspiring books to bring to you every month.

Support progressive causes with every book you buy at PBC

Just as important, you'll help to build a powerful movement by underwriting progressive organizations and media with the dollars you spend at Progressive Book Club. Every time you buy a club-priced book from PBC, $2 will be donated to the progressive organization of your choice - supporting the environment, literacy, progressive media and much more.

Join our growing online and offline community of progressive readers

Progressive Book Club will offer the opportunity to interact with authors, progressive opinion leaders and fellow members both online and offline. Beyond the books, PBC offers additional content in the form of videos, podcasts, interviews, author roundtables, and additional reading recommendations to help bring issues to life and deepen understanding and discussion.

Get 3 books for just $1 each - join Progressive Book Club today!

Start with 3 books for $1 each (with membership). As a member, you can buy books at 10-40% off list prices. Most importantly, with each club-priced book that you buy, $2 will be donated to a progressive organization of your choice.

For forty years, American conservatives have been pushing ideas, ideology and a bevy of ideologues to advance their agenda, and books have been among their most effective tools. Now is the moment to showcase our best ideas and thinkers through books and to build on the nation's powerful desire for change in this crucial election year

Please join Progressive Book Club today!

1. will the club be as persistant as Columbia House when I stop paying?
I'll just keep trying to convince others to buy these books, then borrow from them. Times are tough and I've had to get creative. Almost lifted "Shock Doctrine" last night, but thought better of it. (man I really want to read that book, but cant swing the $28)

2. I don't know, but I know what you mean. I haven't joined a
book or CD club in years for that reason.
